About this game
How many more?: a free Pre-K math game for ages 4-5. Each round draws 5 questions; instructions are read aloud and every answer is checked and explained.
Two children compare stickers, and one announces having more. How many more is the harder question, and it is the one this game asks. In How many more?, a Pre-K child hears a short story, such as Sami has 3 carrots and Leah has 4, and sees Leah's carrots in one row. Your child taps the difference among four numbers. The answers stay small, from 1 to 3. Five stories make a round, each answer checked with a sentence like 3 and 1 more make 4.
Comparing by difference is a step past more and fewer. The child has to hold one amount in mind, find it inside the bigger one and count what sticks out. That leftover is the answer. The hint gives a hand for it: cover 3 of Leah's carrots, then count the others.
Expect a tap on 4 at first, the whole row on the screen. Cover the carrots together and ask, "How many are hiding, and how many are left?" Name the move afterward: "You covered Sami's part first."
