Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Read short word problems and decide whether to add or subtract from key words such as more arrive, altogether, eaten or given away, then find answers up to 10, in line with indicator ค 1.1 ป.1/5.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each, 3 additions and 3 subtractions - 4 apples and 3 more: 7 - 9 sweets, 4 eaten: 5 - 10 pencils, 3 given away: 7 (13 is a distractor) - 5 baht and 3 baht together: 8 (2 is a distractor) - 8 chairs, 6 taken, how many free: 2 (14 is a distractor)

How to use it in class

Use once children add and subtract within 10, to practise choosing the operation. 6 minutes. - Play as a class; read each problem aloud and have children sign add or subtract before seeing the options - Afterwards, each child makes up one problem of their own - If many choose distractors such as 13 or 14, act the story out, e.g. actually hand pencils to a friend - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In questions 4 and 6, choosing 13 and 14 by adding the numbers seen without reading the story; these distractors target exactly that - In question 5, choosing 2, thinking older and younger sibling means finding a difference - In question 6, unsure whether taken means more or fewer, since nothing actually disappears

Play together first, then build on it with a worksheet for the same level.
