"Under the Bowl" Game

"Under the Bowl" is a great game you can play at home to help your child begin to grasp the concepts of addition and subtraction.

Here is how to play the game:
Choose counters (e.g., cereal, pennies, pasta, etc.). Show your child the total number of counters. Then, hide some of the counters under a bowl. Have your child "guess" how many are hidden based on the number that are showing. Gradually increase the number of counters you use.
