Purpose:
You can help your child to practise the 5 plus addition facts.
What you need:
- One die
- A pack of cards – use the 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 cards.
What to do:
Shuffle the cards and deal 5 cards to each player.
The first player rolls the dice and adds 5 to the number. Throw again if a 6 comes up. For example, if you roll a 3, then 3 + 5 = 8. If the player has the total, for example 8, she or he can put the card on the table. The next player has a turn.
The winner is the first player to put all their cards on the table.
What to expect your child to do:
Over time expect your child to instantly recall the addition facts of 5 plus.
Variation:
Roll the dice and ask your child to quickly add 5 to the dice number.
