Simple ideas to practice addition at home
To help your child improve in addition, a few minutes a day are enough with simple and fun exercises.
During a trip or at the table, offer small mental additions: “What’s 20 + 30?”, “What should we add to 45 to make 100?”. These everyday challenges turn math into a game and strengthen number sense.
You can also create a card game where each card contains an addition to solve, or imagine real-life situations such as: “If we have 12 marbles and add 8, how many are there now?”.
These fun activities allow for regular practice while making math learning more natural and motivating.
