Addition

Learning Objective :

Understanding the concept of addition of numbers.

What You Need : Coin, jar of loose change, couple of kids

Procedure :

Step : 1 Figure out a treasure hunt route around your home or yard with four or

five destinations. Then, use the secret code key to spell out a clue card for
each location. For example, you place your clue under your bed. Spell out
“under the bed” in code and send your partner there to find the card.

Then, under the bed, place another card listing the next destination and

forth.
Step : 2 The treasure hunt clues have two levels. First, the child matches a number

to a letter. Second, the child will count up all the cents to make a total.

Step : 3 At the end of the treasure hunt, your partner have to bring all five cards
to a table and finish all card totals. Now, to bring it all home, count out

the totals in real money !

Step : 4 Then, with all five piles of coins together, what is the grand total ?

Step : 5 If this is allowance of a day or if your partner has just completed some

special chore you are paying for, you might even allow him to keep
some or all of the total. Just beware, you will most likely be asked to
repeat this treasure hunt many, many times.

Here’s the ‘Code Breaker’ with an example of a coded message :

____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____

25 15 21 03 01 14 04 15 09 20
Secret Code Key :

A = 01 B = 02 C = 03 D = 04 E = 05 F = 06 G = 07

H = 08 I = 09 J = 10 K = 11 L = 12 M = 13 N = 14

O = 15 P = 16 Q = 17 R = 18 S = 19 T = 20 U = 21

V = 22 W = 23 X = 24 Y = 25 Z = 26
