New game: Sum 10


We finished a new game: Sum 10 . Try our students develop skills and mental calculation strategies in a fun way. In an unconscious way many of us use the sum to the dozen as an intermediate step to complete an operation. However, in the early stages we see that this is something that children find it difficult enough to internalize and use.

The game is a fundamental element for the construction of learning strategies and of course, mental calculation skills. We have therefore referred the following activities:

  • Truck: The simplest where they have to stack a pile of boxes on the other, so that total 10. The amount is represented by boxes that can make a mental picture of the number 10 as magnitude.
  • Tubes: A mechanical arm moves a number released by pressing the red button. To complete it successfully will fall on the tube leading to the total number 10.
  • Boards: In each of the boards is raised a sum dragging the child must complete a number to that total 10. Cars
  • : You have to click on two cars whose numbers add up to 10 before they disappear.
  • The intruder : Has a previous reverse operation. In this case you must click on the number left over to join the other 10.
And now everyone click here to play and then leave us a comment with criticism and possible improvements.
