Addition and Subtraction


I was with the Kindergarten 2 children on Friday and they were in the midst of playing games on the computer. I was curious to find out what had enthralled them and enticed them to be shouting out numbers to each other. 


They were trying to help the man wash the windows by subtracting the numbers shown. 
Was I amazed at the speed they were able to mentally calculate 2 single digit numbers!


A boy said, "Why don't we give the wrong answer!" His friends did not understand why he wanted to do such a thing because their main objective was to reach the top floor as fast as they could.


He was more interested in finding out the cause of getting the answer wrong and the effect it would have on the man cleaning the window. Rather interesting perspective don't you think?


Of course there are many many more games that can be played on the site. It is extremely easy to navigate and your children will have fun picking out the games that excites them most.
