Purpose:
You can help your child to instantly recall the addition facts up to 10.
What you need:
- Calculator (to add scores)
- Paper to record scores
What to do:
Like the game rock, scissors, paper both players count aloud 1, 2, 3, and on 3 display any number of fingers on one hand. The first player adds the numbers together. This is their score for the first round. Record the score on a piece of paper. The second player then has a turn. At the end of 5 rounds each player adds their 5 scores together (using the calculator) and the winner is the player with the highest total score.
What to expect your child to do:
Over time expect your child to instantly recall the addition facts.
Variation:
The older player uses two hands and the younger player uses one hand.
