How you can help at home!
Adding and Subtracting Made FunYou can make up games that involve adding and subtracting numbers by using
number cubes and number cards. Have your child help you make four or more sets
of number cards. Each card will have a number from one to ten on one side of it.

Here are some games to try:

• Higher Number. Shuffle or mix up the cards and then leave them face down in a

pile. Each player takes two cards and adds the numbers. The player with the higher

sum gets the other player’s cards. Players continue to take and add up two cards
at a time until no cards are left. The player with more cards is the winner. You
can play the same game with subtraction, but it would be called Lower Number.
The player with the lower difference (answer) gives his or her cards to the other
player. The person with the fewest cards at the end is the winner. You can play the
same game with multiplication.
 

• Number Cube Twice. Each player rolls two number cubes and adds the numbers

shown. The higher number wins. You can play the same game with subtraction and

multiplication.

• Ask for your child’s help to count items in your home. “I wonder how many chairs

we have around the table? In this room? In the house?” Count windows, light
switches, lamps or beds. You might record “how many” by using a combination ofnumbers and pictures.
