Addition Games

Start with sums within 10, move on to teen totals within 20, then add two-digit numbers. Each level has its own game, so practice stays at the right difficulty.

Questions and answers

What order should addition be learned in?

Children usually learn sums within 10 first (including number bonds to 10), then sums within 20 that cross ten, then two-digit addition within 100.

Why practise addition facts for speed?

When facts like 8 + 5 come instantly, children can spend their effort on the harder parts of a problem instead of counting on their fingers.
