Mathematics — Beginning Addition Addition-fluency challenge

Learning objectives

Add small one-digit quantities
Explain a sum as combining two groups

Concepts and principles

The plus sign combines quantities.
You can check a small sum by counting on from the larger addend.

Examples and worked solutions

Separate teaching example (not verified as a native game question): Two counters are placed beside six counters. How many counters are there altogether?: Worked solution: 6 + 2 = 8; start at six and count on seven, eight.

Guided practice

Read each addition sentence completely
Predict the sum before choosing the game answer
Explain a wrong answer with counters or fingers, then retry

Expected observations and explanations

Counting on from the larger number usually requires fewer steps than recounting both sets.

Assessment questions and answers

What does 1 + 6 equal?: Answer: 7; the verified question bank includes this simple addition fact.
If two addends switch places, does the sum change?: Answer: No. Addition is commutative: 2 + 6 = 6 + 2 = 8.
