    After learning the fundamentals of addition, kids learn addition strategies. The topic introduces them to topics like count on strategy, add whole numbers, number bonds, etc. All these strategies are meant to refine their arithmetic skills, including addition. Proper understanding of addition strategies is crucial to learn addition facts and word problems. The following sections talk about some unique online games to increase kids' knowledge through interactive games. 

    Addition Strategies - The Basic Idea

    'Addition strategies' is a group of techniques intended to make addition simpler and more convenient for kids. The topic provides them with many strategies to learn advanced arithmetics in the following grades. For example, kids may see the numbers 0, 10, 2, and 8 and use different combinations to make 10. So, they can add 10 and 0 to make 10 or add 8 and 2 to get 10.

    In the topic 'Addition Strategies,' kids usually practice and master the following things:

    1. Count on to Add Strategy - This strategy is a part of 'addition strategies within 10.' In this strategy, kids learn addition using objects and add objects with 10. They also count on a number line while practicing.

    2. Addition Strategies Within 20 - Kids learn five different strategies here. They are 'Equal Expressions,' 'Add with 10,' 'Count on strategy,' 'Make 10 strategy,' and 'Doubles and Near Doubles strategy to add.'

    3. Add Three Whole Number - Kids learn to add three whole numbers in any order using a model. The topic also informs them about the best way to identify the equivalent fact.

    4. Addition Strategies Within 100 - Kids can find 10 more and 10 less than a multiple of ten after learning this strategy. They can also add multiples of 10 using place value and identify the sum of a 2-digit number and tens.

    5. Doubles Facts - Kids learn double facts using models and add doubles in this strategy.

    6. Number Bonds - Kids complete number bonds of 10 and make 10 in different ways. 

    The following section discusses three super-fun online games to make addition strategies as easy as pie. 

    Best Activities to Help Kids Master Addition Strategies

    Here are three out-of-the-box games to aid kids' learning:

    1. Compose Ten and Ones to Make a Number - Kids work hard to help an incredible creature, Blinky the Bat, reach its home. They have to work along with the Oolzoos to complete the mission. Kids achieve fluency in place value with this interactive game. They practice and understand how tens and ones make a number.

    2. Add 3 Numbers using Model - Kids use concrete objects as a visual cue to understand the abstract concepts in arithmetics, including addition. They use a model to learn about the best way to add three numbers. Every time they choose the correct answer from the given options, they earn a digital coin.

    3. Complete Number Bonds of 10 - Kids help Hoppy to launch her ship. They apply their prior knowledge of composing and decomposing numbers to solve challenging addition tasks. They work with the make 10 strategy to solve addition problems better.

    Are Addition Strategies so Overwhelming?

    Yes. Since addition strategies involve many small and big rules, kids may find it problematic initially. They may confuse one strategy with another and learn both strategies incorrectly. Moreover, a lack of fair practice can make them forget the rules. 

    What Should an Intelligent Parent Do?

    Being a smart parent, you need to uncomplicate addition strategies for kids. Online games are undoubtedly the easiest way to do so. But, besides online interactive games, you also need to show kids the best way to practice. You may help them relate the strategies with everyday objects and teach them addition.

    Splashlearn's 1st-Grade Addition strategies games launch your kids into the world of advanced arithmetics. These fun and exciting games reduce the complexity through curriculum-focused, interactive, and child-friendly exercises.
