Interactive Math Lesson - Addition and Subtraction Word Problems within 20

Your first-grade students will master addition and subtraction word problems within twenty in this interactive math practice game. Word problems give students the opportunity to put their addition and subtraction skills to the test in real-life scenarios. After going through this online math practice activity, your students will become more confident in their ability to correctly solve a variety of addition and subtraction word problems.

Here are some examples of the types of word problems your students can expect to solve in this online math game. "Sophia and her brothers each have 9 books. How many books do they have all together?" "Eliza picked 13 flowers. 8 of them were dandelions. How many of them were not dandelions?" "Brynn set a goal to read 17 books over the summer. So far, she has read 9. How many more books does she need to read?" These and similar word problems will test your students' knowledge of addition and subtraction within twenty.

Several features are available in I Know It math practice activities to help children make the most of their practice sessions. A "Hint" button offers a practical clue to point students in the right direction when they become stuck on a math problem. A detailed explanation page offers step-by-step instructions when students answer a question incorrectly to help them learn from their mistakes. The progress-tracker in the upper-right corner of the practice screen shows students how many questions they have answered out of the total number of questions in the math lesson. A score-tracker informs students how many questions they have answered correctly so far. Plus, a read-aloud button allows children to hear the math problem read out loud to them in a clear voice—a handy tool for ESL/ELL learners or students who are auditory processors.
