Help your child master addition facts in just fifteen minutes a day, without flashcards or rote memorization, with Addition Facts that Stick. This unique approach breaks addition facts into smaller groups that can be solved with a single strategy, rather than focusing on individual facts. Instead of traditional drilling, children practice using six strategies through hands-on games, activities, and worksheets until they become automatic. The book includes six units, each designed to be completed in approximately one week. Each unit starts with using counters and a ten-frame to introduce the new strategy and teach a game for practicing the focus facts of the week. Lessons include scripted questions with answers and clear guidance for the teacher. For the rest of the week, children continue to play the game and complete a short practice page each day, which includes review from previous weeks. With just 15 minutes a day for six weeks, children can learn sums from 1+1=2 to 9+9=18! This resource is suitable for ages 6 and up, targeting grades 1-4. It's designed for children who have some exposure to numbers and addition but don't know the answers to addition problems automatically. To complete the games and practice pages, you'll also need 15 small counters of two different colors, coins, two game tokens, paper and pencil, and two decks of playing cards (not included). This 131-page softcover book is reproducible for in-family use only. It's organized with lessons at the beginning followed by game boards, practice pages, and answer keys.
