Help your Reception child understand addition by building and combining two groups.

Monster Addition turns early addition into a fun, hands-on game. Your child rolls two dice and gives their monster matching groups of eyes before working out how many eyes there are altogether. By physically making and combining the two groups, children can see what addition really means while developing confidence with counting on and simple number facts.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. You'll also receive the colourful Monster Addition printable activity sheet, ready to use with googly eyes, counters or pom-poms.
