Addition Adventures Stick Kids Workbook, Grade 1

Research has shown that repetition is essential for the brain to learn and recall information. The activities in this book will provide your child with repeated practice in addition. When addition facts are automatic, basic computation skills such as subtraction, multiplication, and division are easier to learn. Thus, mastering these addition facts will help your child build a strong foundation for higher-level math skills.

Upon your childs completion of each activity, use the provided incentive chart and stickers to track progress and celebrate your childs success.

Whether students need extra practice with grade-level skills or a head start on next year, Stick Kids® Workbooks offer engaging activities, games, and puzzles that help make learning lots of fun. Each 56-page book features full-color activities, a list of the skills, and an explanation of why those skills are important for development. Also included are helpful tips, an answer key, a handy tracking sheet, stickers for acknowledging achievements, and appearances by the lovable Stick Kids!

These right-sized (7 x 9) skill practice workbooks are perfect for use at school, or as entertaining activities on the go. Tuck them into a backpack, purse, or travel bag. Great for school breaks, vacations, and year-long practice.

HOW YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT LEARNING
Encourage your child to use the following strategies to develop automatic recall of addition facts:

• Counting on (start with the larger addend and count up by ones)
• Doubles (e.g., 6 + 6 = 12)
• Doubles plus one (e.g., 6 + 7 = 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13)
• Knowing all the combinations for 10
• Making 10 (e.g., 8 + 3 = 8 + 2 +1 = 10 + 1 =11)
• Creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 11 + 5 by creating a known equivalent 10 + 1 + 5 = 10 + 6 = 16)
