Now that you are familiar with adding, it's time to start practicing addition facts to build fluency. Building fluency means that you can easily recall the addition facts without having to count. It's okay to use your fingers or other tools to begin, but our goal is to know them well. Being able to recall the facts without much thought makes it easier to solve math problems. The more you practice, the better you get. Play each of these games at least once, then head to the comment box to get credit for doing homework.
First up is Marble Math Addition. This one will increase in difficulty as children are successful. There are marbles that the students can use if they still need manipulatives.
Next is Addition Concentration . In this game, students are shown sums and addition facts and must match the sum to the correct fact.
Our last game for tonight is Math Baseball. In this game students must find a missing addend. When you get to the page from this link, make sure you select 'addition'. Also, select 'yes' for the question 'algebra style'. Start out at the 'easy' level and progress to a harder level if your child is proficient. We have been working on finding the missing part in class. You may need to have some manipulatives on hand (pennies, cereal pieces, etc.). Ask your child to identify the sum and talk about how that is the whole. Then ask them the part they know (it is one of the addends). Have them show the whole with the manipulatives. Then have them separate the part they know from the whole. That is the missing part.
COMMENT BOX ASSIGNMENT: Remember to include your name so we know you did your homework. What game did you like best? Why?

I like the Marble Math Addition game.I like marbles and I liked counted and moving them into the box.
Addyson liked math baseball the best because she "made a text to self with that game!" She also liked the marbles game and the concentration too! But math baseball was the best!
I like the marble game because it has a pirate in it.

I liked addition concentration best because it is like playing memory except it helps you to learn math.
We could not get the marble game to work.
