Loading the game…
The assessment: eight short stories, drawn from ten, where you put two amounts together, up to 5. The full result appears at the end.
Knowing how to calculate 2 + 3 is not enough. A child in the first year of primary school also has to recognize an addition hidden in a story. Addition word problems up to 5 practise this step from the story to the calculation. Indeed, the child has to spot the two amounts, then put them together.
This game is an assessment. It offers eight short stories, drawn from ten and read out loud. In each one, the child puts two amounts together and chooses the right number. Two stories contain the words “not any”, which mean zero. The game gives no help during the game. Finally, the full result appears at the end.
To prepare, tell everyday stories. For example: “You have two marbles. Leo gives you three. How many do you have?” Then let the child hold up fingers for each number, then count them all. Sometimes add “none” to talk about zero.
This assessment is for children aged 6 to 7, in the first year of primary school. This way, addition word problems up to 5 show whether the meaning of addition is secure. The game works on computer, tablet and phone.
Listen carefully to the story. First, find the two numbers it talks about. Then hold up fingers for the first number. Next, hold up fingers for the second. Now count all your fingers. “Not any” means zero: you don’t hold up a finger. Finally, choose the number you found.
