Juniors/Seniors: Addition
When learning to add, it is important that young children can practice with real materials to consolidate learning. Give your child pieces of pasta, lego blocks, pencils etc. to combine together to figure out the answer to sums if they need them. For each day, I have an online game and a worksheet for you to do or to choose from.
