COUNTING CALCULATION numbers - spacebar version 1.2
Which concepts should be known by the preschooler : numbers and quantities - be able to count (max=9)
How to play the game :
On the left and right of the screen, a frame is drawn (we call it a cookie box). In each of these boxes come a number of characters (letter cookies)
The left-hand cookie box is given a blue border , and an empty box appears below this box (also with blue border). The preschooler counts the number of cookies in this box and then presses the corresponding number.
This digit will appear in the blue bordered box. When in doubt, the preschooler can still key in another digit. If the preschooler wishes to confirm the choice, the space bar must be pressed.
If the answer is correct, the box is bordered in green. If the answer is wrong, the box is edged red, and the cookies are counted 1 by 1, and the wrong result is overwritten with the correct count.
Now the right-hand cookie box is labeled with a blue border, and there will be a box under this box, and this too is labeled with a blue border. Now everything proceeds identically as before....
When both boxes have been counted, a large blue border appears around the 2 small cookie boxes (from which the blue border has now been removed) and a box (with blue border) appears
on the right side of the large cookie box. Now count the cookies in the big box. (The rest is again the same as before !)
Finally, when all the correct values are known, the frame of the large cookie box disappears, the frames of the small cookie boxes return , and the + and = signs also appear.
This is how preschoolers learn how addition works !
In these 3 phases, a face is gradually built - on the far right of the screen. Only when the toddler has completed the 3 phases correctly, a smiling face is obtained.
These faces will be used in the final processing. Only the smiling faces will blink with the eyes.
After a short wait, a new exercise will start !
With this exercise it is built in that it starts with small numbers - if in the first 5 exercises max 1 mistake is made then the total of the 2 boxes can go up to 9
At the bottom of the screen, the results of 10 exercises are tracked in the form of happy or sad faces!
After the 10 exercises, this program is ended and we return to this page.
Here we can then choose to play again ; or choose another exercise on the (Toddlers 4 and 5 years - educational games) page.
