    A single approach to teaching does not work the same for all kids. Online games incorporate numerous strategies to help kids understand and practice much-needed skills while staying on par with their peers. 

    Introduction

    The concept of addition has many real-life applications. One of the most common ones would be the handling of everyday money. For example, managing accounts would not be simple without knowing concepts like addition and subtraction. Learning the concept of subtraction also requires the knowledge and understanding of addition.

    This highlights the importance of addition, making it even more crucial to teach your kids this concept and strengthen their foundation.

    The Necessity for Different Approaches

    No two kids are the same. Each child uniquely understands and perceives things. Therefore, following one methodology to teach kids addition will not work.

    When the learning only involves questions like 2+3 and 7+1, the understanding of the concept becomes rather basic. Different approaches to the same concept bring in a deeper absorption of knowledge.

    Online platforms that provide educational games understand this necessity as they use various strategies and approaches while teaching addition to kindergarteners.

    The games are curriculum-aligned, making the content very comprehensive. Apart from providing in-depth learning, these games also stick true to their nature, which is, creating a fun and exciting environment.

    Pre-Requisites

    Even before your child begins learning addition concepts, they must fulfill a few prerequisites. While addition will also give them practice in these requirements, having a basic grasp on it is necessary. 

    These requirements are -

    Addition Strategy Games 

    Here are a few different games that will help shine light upon the various approaches SplashLearn uses to teach kindergartners addition strategies.

    Count All to Add

    These games incorporate unique themes, stories, effects, and graphics that your kid will love and enjoy. In this set of games, your kid will have to count the objects throughout an interactive story and add them up to find the answer.

    One or Two More Within 5

    In such games, your kid will have to find one or two more than the given number. The question will be displayed in the form of a sentence, like 3 and 2 more, along with visual representations of objects in different colors.

    By using numbers within five alone, these games give your child a solid start to the concept of addition in the initial set of numbers.

    One More Within 10

    This game takes the previous one and cranks it up a notch by exposing your child to more numbers. Following a similar concept, your kid will have to count and add to find one more than the given number within ten.

    Reverse-Engineering the Problem 

    After getting enough practice with addition, kids get accustomed to the concept. In such times, throwing in a different method into the mix makes them rethink the operation. 

    A normal questionnaire consists of questions like -

    Your kid can easily count the objects and answer the question from the list of options.

    Reverse-engineered or opposite questions go the other way about the process. While the question remains the same (what is 8 and 1 more?), the options do not contain direct answers. Instead, the options will consist of objects in different colors and numbers. Your child must count them and identify the option that matches the question.

    Different approaches like this make your child a master at addition.

    Be There for Your Kids 

    Kindergarten is just the beginning of a long educational journey for your child. You must be there for them by providing all the necessary learning resources at the right time. Using interactive tools like the games on our platform are a great way to help them understand crucial concepts like addition strategies while building a love for math.

    SplashLearn follows the ‘count all to add’ strategy as it is one of the best approaches to teach kindergarteners addition. It utilizes concepts learned in the past to develop new skills. The two stages – within 5 and within 10 – ensure step-by-step learning for your child.
