Skills - addition and subtraction concepts
Materials - this game may be
played on paper, chalkboard or orally
This is a fun game to reinforce
understanding of addition and subtraction, as well
as when to use each. Start with any equation, 2+2=4,
for example. Explain that subtraction is needed to
'undo' your equation, creating the equation 4-2=2.
Take turns with your child offering either addition
or subtraction problems, and offering the 'undone'
equations.
If your child is just beginning to
work with these concepts, you may want to include
manipulatives of some sort, buttons, beans, linking
cubes, to demonstrate the concepts.
