I am recently obsessed with using plastic Solo cups in our classroom. They’re fun, cheap, and make great STEM activities. Stacking cups is great for incorporating fine motor skills while we’re learning. These addition and subtraction cups are our third Solo cup activity, and the kids are loving it! This activity gives us practice with addition and subtraction to 10, using a fun, hands-on, engaging approach!

These cups are super simple to create. We used black plastic cups and neon shipping labels from Amazon!





Now, if you don’t want to print on labels that’s totally ok. Just use a light-colored cup and you can write on the cups with Sharpies! BAM!
Print your addition equations and answers on the labels. And attach the labels to the cups.

Students solve the equation and match the equation cup and the answer cup! As they add and subtract, they stack the cups!
