Activity 2 / Planting Seeds for 11 Worksheet
Before beginning this worksheet, you might want to refresh your students’ mind a little bit by asking them to count as high as they can. Now, teach them that different numbers added together can give the same figure. Give your kids simple equations, like adding 2+2 =4, and also 3+1 =4. Ask your students if they can give you other examples, and then look at the simple additions in this printout. Help your students work them all out, and then circle all of the equations that make 11.

Activity 3 / Pyramid Math to Make 11 Worksheet
Help your kids with the simple math problems in this worksheet. But first, ask them to look at the picture and tell you what they see. The Egyptian pyramids are historical monuments in Egypt, and the people of Egypt practiced the traditions of mummifying dead people and burying them in tombs inside pyramids. Now, teach your kids some math by helping them add up the numbers in the pyramids, and drawing lines between the numbers that make 11.
