Use counting blocks or cubes to add numbers up to 50. Provide the student with a set of blocks and ask them to add 10 blocks to 20 blocks. How many blocks do they have in total?

Use a number line as a hands-on manipulative. Print out a number line from 0 to 50 and provide the student with a movable marker or a clothespin. Ask them to add 15 to 25. Have them move the marker or clothespin to the correct spot on the number line and count the total.

Create a printable worksheet with pictures of objects. Ask the student to count the objects and write the total number. For example, provide a picture of 30 apples and a picture of 20 oranges. Ask the student to add the two quantities and write the answer.

Use a deck of number cards as manipulatives. Shuffle the cards and place them face down. Ask the student to pick two cards and add the numbers together. For example, if they pick a card with the number 35 and a card with the number 12, they would add 35 + 12.

Create a printable resource with number sentences. Provide the student with a set of number cards or counters. Ask them to place the correct number of counters on each side of the equation to solve the addition problem. For example, if the equation is 27 + __ = 50, the student would place 23 counters on the blank side to make the equation true.

Use a number chart as a manipulative. Print out a number chart from 0 to 50 and provide the student with a set of number cards or counters. Ask them to place the correct number of counters on each number to solve the addition problem. For example, if the problem is 35 + 15, the student would place 35 counters on the number 35 and 15 counters on the number 15, then count the total number of counters.

Create a printable resource with addition word problems. Use pictures or symbols to represent the numbers in the problem. For example, “There are 20 red apples and 15 green apples. How many apples are there in total?” Provide the student with manipulatives such as counters or blocks to help them solve the problem.

Use a ten-frame as a hands-on manipulative. Print out a ten-frame template and provide the student with counters or small objects. Ask them to fill in the ten-frame to represent the numbers in the addition problem. For example, if the problem is 28 + 12, the student would place 2 counters in one row and 8 counters in the second row, then add 1 counter to the first row and 2 counters to the second row.

Create a printable resource with addition puzzles. Cut out puzzle pieces with numbers and symbols (+, =) and ask the student to solve the puzzle by placing the pieces in the correct order to form a valid addition equation. For example, provide puzzle pieces with the numbers 35, 10, and 45, and the symbols + and =. The student would arrange the pieces to form the equation 35 + 10 = 45.

Use a number bond as a hands-on manipulative. Print out number bond templates and provide the student with counters or small objects. Ask them to fill in the number bond to represent the numbers in the addition problem. For example, if the problem is 40 + 5, the student would place 40 counters in one part of the number bond and 5 counters in the other part, then count the total number of counters.
