Why addition games work

By the end of grade 2, children are expected to know every addition fact within 20 from memory. That takes a lot of repetition, and games make repetition fun. Each game here mixes the facts, shows the right answer after a mistake, and finishes with a list of facts to practice.

A simple game plan

  1. Number bonds: Make 10 Pop and the make 10 lesson.
  2. Learn the facts: one strategy a week from the facts within 10 and doubles pages, plus Addition Match.
  3. Build speed: Addition Bingo and Addition Race.
  4. Check progress: a weekly 1-minute addition speed test or the addition quiz.
