Find Sums
There are two modes provided to support your child as they play the game. The goal is to choose a pair of numbers that cause all of the un-shaded spaces to be filled with apples. This mode is appropriate for Kindergarteners and First Graders. The focus should always be on sense-making and accuracy before speed. Ask your child to explain how they know what the other number should be and what strategies they are using. Remember that this game is not intended to replace instruction – but rather to supplement it with an activity to support mastery and fluency.
