I created this bunting as a way to organize and display the important vocabulary used in the addition & subtraction unit. I love bunting…who doesn’t? I am also one of those teachers who will spend waaaay to long trying to get all of my vocabulary cards perfectly straight for my word wall. Now I save myself tons of time that used to be spent stapling precisely spaced vocabulary cards on the wall.

One other huge advantage to using bunting is the ability to show relationships and connections between vocabulary turns. Addend and sum should be defined together, right?
