About Addition Adventure
Knowing addition facts by heart frees up working memory for harder problems later on, like multi-digit addition, subtraction and multiplication. This game gives quick, repeated practice in a low-pressure way.
Younger children (Grade R to Grade 1) should start with numbers up to 10. Kids in Grades 2–3 can move on to 20 and 100, while numbers up to 1,000 suit Grades 3–4.
