Loading the game…
Work out additions of two numbers and write the answer, up to 10. The right answer appears after each question.
Being able to add two numbers up to 10 is a major goal of the first year of primary school. These small sums are then used everywhere: for big numbers, money or word problems. Here, no picture helps the child. So they have to rely on a calculation strategy.
The game shows an addition, such as 6 + 3, and reads the instruction aloud. The child writes the sum in digits. It never goes over 10. They have a single try per question. Then the game shows the right answer straight away. A round has 8 questions.
The hint suggests starting from the first number, then counting on with the fingers as many times as the second. For example, for 6 + 3, the child says “six”, then “seven, eight, nine”. At home, practice with a board game track. Indeed, moving a counter 3 spaces means adding 3.
This game is for the first year of primary school, for children aged 6 to 7. This way, these small sums slowly become a reflex. It is free on a computer, tablet or phone.
Don’t start from one! First, say the first number out loud: six. Then count on with your fingers as many times as the second number: seven, eight, nine. Stop when all the fingers are counted. Finally, write the number you got to. You held up three fingers and got to nine: you did it.
