About this game

Ten and three more make thirteen: choose the chocolate bar with the right number of squares, up to 20.

Count the chocolates to 20: ten and more

In the first year of primary school, the numbers from 11 to 20 are often tricky. Their names do not clearly say “ten and more”. That is why the child needs to see that thirteen is ten squares and three more. This game helps them count the chocolates to 20 thanks to a clearly visible ten.

Each chocolate bar shows ten squares in two columns of five, then some extra squares. The game shows a written number and reads it out loud. The child then chooses the bar that has that number of squares. A game has 8 questions. A progress bar shows how far they have come.

Before playing, show a real chocolate bar. First, have your child count one column: five squares. Then put two columns together: that makes ten. Finally, add squares one by one while saying “eleven, twelve, thirteen”. For example, write 13 beside them to link the word and the number.

This game is for children aged 6 to 7, in the first year of primary school. This way, counting the chocolates to 20 becomes real calculation, faster than counting one by one. It works on computer, tablet and phone.

Tip for counting the chocolates to 20

A column of chocolate has five squares. Two columns side by side make ten. So don’t count them all again! Start from ten, then count the extra squares: eleven, twelve, thirteen. Next, look at the written number and listen to it carefully. Count the squares of each bar the same way. Finally, choose the bar that has the same number.
