How to teach your kids to add and subtract? There are different addition and subtraction games for kids which they could play and learn from, and one good thing is knowing that these games could actually be played with some simple objects found around the house.
This lesson is aimed at teaching the kids to learn addition and subtraction through using the numbered sticky notes. All what the parent will do is to write different numbers on different sticky note papers and then will choose a number and write it down on the board, this number should be the outcome that the kid will bring out after using some of the numbered sticky notes.
Parents should leave the kids to choose the numbers, handle the whole mathematical equation and check whether what they have done will eventually bring them the right answers or else will not. Ask the kids whether they are going to add or subtract, if they got another answer than what they are supposed to, ask them what they should do next, such questions will help them to think and try with their minds and fingers to find the correct answer.
Try this technique or game with your kid several times but with different outcome numbers which they are supposed to reach or get at the end, because this will help the child to try using different numbers and will sometimes encourage them to use addition and subtraction without sticking to one of them only, and even mixing between them both in the same equation.
There are different games played with numbers that give the kids the opportunity to learn addition and subtraction and sometimes even go further to multiplication and division - this will depend on their age and the level they have reached in math (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVM8iQMaZN8).
At the beginning of the lesson and before coming to the part of letting the kids solve the problem that you are giving them, try to let them do any equation from their mind and solve it at the same time, this will first make sure that they understand addition and subtraction and could actually deal with the numbers to solve any mathematical problem they end up having.
There are lots of interesting things which the kids could actually play to learn math and some of them are even games which are played on a whiteboard without the need for any other tools or materials. On the other hand, there are some mathematical games which the kids get to learn from, such as counting and playing with Lego pieces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roMEZv1OObc) or else using the play doh to create different shapes and also get the help in addition and subtraction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw91epryD28).
A tip for the parents! Always take it easy and slowly with the kids, don't lose hope or rush the kids when they are answering a question or solving a mathematical problem, because this will not help them but instead might lead to negative results which you will never want to even face. Give the kids the chance to think, use their own methods but share them with you, and last but not least, give them the chance to make mistakes because that's actually how they are eventually going to learn.
Get harder with the questions when you find out that the kid is responding in the needed ways, but also keep taking small steps in order not to make the whole thing appear harder for them. For example, start with teaching them addition that consists of only two numbers then increase that number, and you could also start with addition only and then go further to include both addition and subtraction in the same equation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe1wZFhsL5I).
Enjoy this video with your kids; learn some math games to teach them addition and subtraction, and let them learn how to add and subtract and get more professional at the problem solving thing.
