About this game

One more (up to 5)

One more (up to 5): a free Kindergarten math game for ages 5-6. Each round draws 5 questions; instructions are read aloud and every answer is checked and explained.

How it plays and why it helps

A Kindergarten child holding three crackers can usually tell you how many one more will make. One more (up to 5) asks for that answer in pictures. A picture shows one to four cups, hamburgers, hams or bananas. Your child counts, then taps the group that has one more, from two or three choices. The instruction is read aloud, five pictures make a round, and every answer is checked and explained: 1 and one more makes 2.

One more is the next number in the count. The hint says to keep counting, just one number more, so your child does not need to start again. Groups stay small. None goes past five, so each one can be checked by touch.

When three groups are offered, the biggest one is the trap. One cup, with choices of two, three and four cups, invites a tap on four, because more feels like most. Ask, "Did we add one, or a lot?" Celebrate the precise count: "Just one more, and you found it."
