Addition and problem word games use audiovisual aids to help kids in learning addition and subtraction. Since the kids are engaged in either adding or subtracting objects and then arriving at a solution, they are able to understand the concepts faster.

Introduction

Kids can focus on one thing at a time, so if they are working with only numbers in a math problem they know what needs to be done. When words are added to the problem along with the numbers, then confusion arises.

Word problems need to be taught to your kids in a systematic way. They need to read the word problems first to understand what needs to be done and then look at the numbers and solve the problem. Let us explore addition and subtraction word problem games in the next section.

Discover the Thrill of Addition and Subtraction Games

Addition and subtraction word problem games take care of the confusion the kids face with numbers and words in the same problem. Kids have to interact with the objects shown in the games by following instructions given to them. They count the objects and then choose the right answer. These games help children focus on what needs to be done so that their addition and subtraction skills improve.

Excite Young Minds With Word Problems Games

There are multiple benefits that these games offer:

Focus on what’s important: Besides the numbers, the kids are supposed to understand what action needs to be taken. With these games, the kids identify the action to be taken and then arrive at a solution.
Use of Models: The visual representation of the object helps kids operate easily. They know if the object has to be added or subtracted.
Encourages Thinking: When the problem is narrated to kids, they listen to the entire question before proceeding to the solution. The kids ask themselves questions like what is required, what steps do I need to follow, and what information has been provided.
Simplified Process: There is a 3-step process for solving these word games. First, listen to the question, next take action using the models, and finally choose an answer from the given options. Kids gain confidence with every step.

Fun Strategies to Learn Addition and Subtraction

Addition and Subtraction Word Games separate the text and the numbers so that solving the problem becomes easier for your kids. In the ‘Model and Solve addition problems,’ the question is first read out to the kids. Next, they add different models as per the instructions given in the question. They count the models and then choose the correct option. With every step, your kids become more confident.

In the Model and Solve subtraction problems, kids are asked to take away a certain number of models from the initial given number and then choose the right option.

Help Your Kids Ace Addition and Subtraction Challenges

The challenges you are likely to face as a parent when teaching addition and subtraction to your kids are:

Understanding Action Required: The combination of words and numbers in word problems confuses kids and they can't understand what they need to do.
Important Steps: There is no clear step-by-step process that kids can follow to solve the problems.
Low Confidence: The confusion results in low confidence levels

Educational tools like SplashLearn make addition and subtraction fun for kids through interactive games.

Final Thoughts

When the subject is fun, learning is faster. With thoughtfully designed mathematics games, kids will get involved and master the subject.
