This activity will allow your child to demonstrate his or her knowledge of addition

of square animations and to add by viewing a numeric equation.

Learning Benefits for Your Child 

Learning Benefits for Your Child - Addition helps your child understand the concept
of adding numbers to obtain a sum, or the whole amount.  By understanding this
concept, your child will begin to apply his or her knowledge by solving problems.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slide the activity selector to “Addition.”  You will hear a

short tune and a friendly voice will say “Pick a level.”  In
this activity, all answers need to be inputted from right
to left.

2. In Level 1, the LCD screen will display square animations to

represent an equation.

3. Next,  a  numeric  equation  that  represents  the  squares

previously shown will be displayed.  The unit will say “Input
your answer.”

4. If you answer correctly, you will hear “You’ve got it!”  You

will  then  advance  to  the  next  question.    If  you  answer
incorrectly, you will hear “Oops, try again!”  The square
animations will be shown on the LCD screen and you will
be  able  to  enter  your  answer  again.    If  you  answer
incorrectly on your third try, you will hear an incorrect
sound effect followed by “This is the answer.” The answer
will also be repeated.

5. In  Levels  2  and  3,  you  will  not  be  given  the  square

animations, only the numeric equations to solve.
