Addition Properties Games are designed in a way that exposes kids to the rules of addition without confusing them. They blend animation, sound and visual representation to help nudge kids to practice more and stay committed to learning.

Introduction

Understanding all the addition properties, i.e., commutative, associative, and additive identity, at once can be confusing for a young learner.

For example, according to the commutative property, a change of sequence of the numbers in addition expression does not result in a change of the sum.

For example: 1+5 = 5+1 =6

Understanding and utilizing these properties whenever needed may be challenging for young kids.

But gamifying addition can help your little one develop an intuitive understanding of these properties and build a strong foundation in addition. Interactive addition properties games make learning fun and effective, and your little one will ace addition properties in no time.

Learning Addition Properties Made Superfun

When kids first start learning addition, it can be hard to remember the basic rules. For example, does the result change if you shift the order of numbers being added? What are the rules when adding two numbers and multiplying by a third number? Often, even adults forget these rules.

But a visually appealing interactive addition properties game can cement the rules in one's mind for decades. When endearing characters, positive affirmations, and relaxing sound effects are thrown into the mix, a safe, exciting space is created for your little one to learn and ace addition.

Simplifying Addition Properties With Interesting Games

Interactive mixed numbers addition games are designed in such a way that they become addicted to learning. Kids can build a natural intuition towards adding mixed numbers. Here's a look at some mixed numbers additions games and their approaches to learning:

Identify Turn-Around Facts - This super colorful game introduces your child to turn-around facts by asking them to select the right answer from a set of given actions. It seeds the commutative property logic in no time.
Add Three Numbers in Any Order - This game features friendly monsters who must flee the maze, each representing a number in the expression. The challenge for students is to complete a set of challenging tasks. In the process, they understand how the associative property does not change the result when adding three numbers.
Identify the Related Fact - This game offers a different approach to learning about the associative property. An addition expression with three numbers is given. Your child must identify another way of writing it, with the same result, from a set of given options.
Complete the Equivalent Fact - This game offers an exciting challenge. The addition expression has a missing number in the second half of the expression. Your child must identify the missing number by adding the numbers in the first half of the expression. Then subtract the result from the given number in the second half. It fine-tunes learning of addition further.

Why Learning Addition Properties Causes Confusion

Addition properties are the building blocks of addition. However, putting them to use at such a young age can be confusing and overwhelming for a young learner. A practical approach expedites learning and lets children build an intuitive understanding of addition properties.

Build Addition Properties Into Daily Conversations

We use addition almost every day in multiple scenarios. It's a good idea to juggle your kids' understanding by bringing addition properties into daily conversations. You can ask them to count the coins in a different order and see if the total amount is the same. They could be connected to toys, chocolates, or any item your kids love.

Once your child has aced addition properties, the journey to understanding all other operations becomes much easier. SplashLearn's interactive educational platform makes this journey extremely fun, challenging, and joyful, and this is a curriculum-aligned fun approach to develop a love for Mathematics.
