Missing Addend Word Problems

Solving addition and subtraction word problems in grade 1 involves helping students understand the context, identify relevant information, choose appropriate operations, and perform the calculations.

  • Read the Problem Aloud: Begin by reading the word problem aloud to the students. Encourage them to listen carefully and visualize the situation.
  • Identify Key Information: Ask students to identify the key information in the problem. What are the numbers, objects, or quantities mentioned? Are they adding or subtracting?
  • Use Visuals: Provide visual aids or drawings that represent the information in the word problem. Visuals can help students understand the scenario better.
  • Understand the Question: Ensure that students understand what the problem is asking. Are they being asked to find the total, the difference, or some other information?
  • Choose an Operation: Discuss with students whether the problem involves addition or subtraction. Encourage them to look for keywords like “more,” “join,” “total” for addition, and “less,” “take away,” “difference” for subtraction.
  • Write a Number Sentence: Help students translate the information into a number sentence or equation. For addition, use symbols such as “+” and for subtraction, use “-”.
  • Solve the Problem: Guide students through the process of solving the problem using the chosen operation. Use manipulatives, drawings, or number lines as needed.
  • Check the Answer: After finding a solution, ask students to check their answer. Does it make sense in the context of the problem? Is it reasonable?

Solving addition and subtraction word problems in grade 1 involves a combination of reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and basic arithmetic skills. By guiding students through these steps and providing regular practice, they can develop a strong foundation in problem-solving and mathematical thinking.

Learn to solve word problems on adding three numbers through this game.

Kids practice four types of word problems in the first grade. There are addition word problems within 10, 20, and 100. They also learn 'add to compare word problems.' Since addition word problems combine arithmetics with English sentences, kids often find them challenging. This is the reason why they love playing online fun addition word problems games. Head to the following section to learn about the top-3 educational addition word problems games online.

Addition Word Problems - The Concept

While the sub-heading might appear a little confusing, kids indeed apply their prior conceptual knowledge to figure out addition word problems. Kids initially start the lesson by solving addition word problems within 10 and move to learn 20 and 100. After this, they start solving add to compare word problems. 

For instance, they may see word problems like "Sam has 4 apples. His father gives him 3 mangoes. How many fruits does he have in total?" Kids need to calculate the total and find the answer, 7. 

Online fun games from educational platforms engage kids with many such problems. The more they practice these curriculum-focused logically crafted tasks, the faster they learn addition word problems. 

Check some incredible addition word problems games in the following section. 

 Addition Word Problems are No More a Problem

Here are the best addition word problems games you can find on the internet:

  • Represent 'Add To' Scenarios - This educational game empowers kids to apply their conceptual knowledge of addition to real-world situations. They read many different unique stories and apply their understanding of the 'Add to' scenario to guess the correct answers. The game is best suited for clearing kids' confusion regarding addition and honing their skills.
  • Word Problems to Add Multiples of 10 - Kids strive to answer multiple challenging tasks to become fluent in solving addition problems. They see problems and apply their knowledge of the 'Put Together' scenario. Like the previous game, this interactive game presents multiple story situations to kids that they need to solve. The problems in this game cater to addition word problems within 100.
  • Compare and Solve to Find the Unknown - This fun game, from the sub-topic 'Add to Compare Word Problems,' plays a crucial role in making kids' addition base solid. They practice many challenging tasks to sharpen their knowledge of addition. Kids learn comparison word problems, in which they compare and add to find the result.

Do Kids Find Word Problems Complex?

By the time kids take up word problems, they have mastered the fundamentals of addition and know various addition strategies and facts. But addition word problems pose a new set of risks to them. 

They have to understand complex English sentences and decipher the numbers. After this, they need to invoke their conceptual knowledge and solve the problems. All of these can confuse kids, and they might make more mistakes than usual.

Parents and Online Games - An Irresistible Combination

Millions of parents worldwide acknowledge the benefits of online educational games. These prolific interactive games arouse kids' curiosity through fun activities. However, as a parent, you might have to walk along with your kids. Introduce them to the concept of addition word problems through real-world examples and sentences.

Once they understand the primary association between sentences and numbers, you can allow them to play online educational games. Pen and paper practice, coupled with online games, can boost kids' knowledge straightforwardly.

SplashLearn's addition word problems games give your kids sufficient reasons to practice and augment their knowledge of arithmetics. Let them try these curriculum-aligned games before admiring your kids' transformation.
