This collection of online addition games will help children to practise adding numbers and doing sums
while having lots of fun. There are games here suitable for children in Reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Help Count Hoot from the Little Animals' Activity Centre to add up the dots. At Level 2 you can
add numbers up to ten instead of dots, and at Level 3 the numbers go up to twenty (BBC Schools)
This game is more challenging than it looks. Three or four tiles are displayed and the user has
to drag them into the sum in the correct order so that it makes sense. You can choose how many
questions you aim to answer against the clock. (Oswego)
Powerlines is an absorbing game. The addition is quite straightforward, but working out the
logic of how to fit the numbers in so that all the straight lines add up to the target is much
harder than it looks (and quite addictive). (Oswego)
This game uses a number grid. You are given an answer and have to drag it into a correct
position on the grid. For example, you could put the answer 10 where 1 and 9 meet. When you have
answered enough questions, the surprise picture will be revealed! (Harcourt School Publishers)
Click a switch to choose your level and a random addition will appear. Click in the
white box and type your answer, then hit the big red button to check. (Ambleside Primary
School)
You need to click next to start, then answer the sum at the top of the screen by clicking the
correct mummy case. If you are right, the mummy will jump out and dance for you. (ICTGames)
This game introduces the idea of adding more than two numbers, such as 3 + 1 + 5 = 9. The aim is
to collect the required amount of fuel for your spaceship by flying into the small amounts you
need. If you collect too much fuel, you will crash. (ICTGames)
