Bonnie Adama has created a rich resource of 130 games proven to
help your first grader learn basic math skills. With these
skills, your child will be well on their way to success in 1st
grade math. The games cover these important areas in 1st grade
math: • Number Recognition • Greater Than/Less Than, More or
Less • Addition to 10 • Addition to 30 • Place Value, Addition,
and Rounding to 100 • Place Value, Addition, and Rounding to
1,000 • Multiple Operations – Addition and Subtraction Here is a
sample game that I have found very effective when working with
first graders: Same Sums is a perfect game for First Graders. It
allows everyone to practice those addition facts to 10 that are
so important. Children need to have them in long term memory as
soon as possible. Same Sums also helps children understand the
meaning of the = (equal) sign. Many people think it just means
“now find the answer”. Children need to understand that the
equation must be equal (balanced) on both sides of the = sign.
