What to Focus On

  • The target number is 10.
  • Each turn adds 1 or 2.
  • Player 1 starts first.
  • Addition tables help study patterns.
  • Addition gives the same total in either order.
  • Some rows and columns show all even numbers or all odd numbers.
  • Reverse and Add uses a 2-digit number and its reverse.
  • The digits stay the same but switch places.
  • The sum often shows interesting patterns.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If one number is described as 'more than' another, the smaller number should be added to the bigger number in any order.

When a number is 'more than' another, subtraction should be used because 'more' means finding the difference.

For the NIM game, any number can be chosen to win if the player is lucky.
