The official instructions say the player presses the green flag, adds two numbers or apple groups, chooses the matching answer, earns a star for each correct response, and wins after five stars. The number range is one to five.

Editor's Guide

Addition Game is built around early number sense. The small range keeps the activity focused: players see two small values, combine them, and choose the sum from the bottom row. The star reward gives children a visible reason to keep answering carefully.

Because the original range is one to five, this page works best as a first addition game or a confidence builder. It is simple by design, which is useful when the goal is recognizing small sums without extra distractions.

Best for
  • Early addition practice
  • Counting with small numbers
  • Short parent-guided sessions
Learning value

The game supports the move from counting objects to recognizing small addition facts, especially when an adult asks the player to explain the answer.

Watch for
  • The challenge is intentionally small
  • It is not a full arithmetic curriculum
  • Younger players may need help starting the Scratch frame

Why this game is worth playing

  • The apple-style quantity cue helps players connect symbols with countable groups.
  • The five-star win condition is easy to understand and keeps sessions short.
  • The low number range supports children who are still building fluency with small sums.

How to play

  1. Click the green flag in the game frame.
  2. Look at the two numbers or apple groups.
  3. Choose the number that matches the sum.
  4. Collect five stars to win.

Tips before you play

  • Ask the player to count each group first, then count on from the larger number.
  • Pause after a wrong answer and rebuild the sum with fingers or objects nearby.
  • Replay once the first win feels easy, but do not turn it into a speed test too soon.
