Follow the clues step by step, then you find the ingredient!
You start at a number and work out every clue one after the other.
Example: the start is 10.
First clue: +25, that makes 35.
Second clue: -12, that makes 23.
Third clue: +30, that makes 53.
The last number is the ingredient.
Always carry on with the result from the step before.
The numbers filled in show the solution.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Do several plus and minus steps in a row up to 100 and keep the in-between result in your head.
Common pitfalls
Children often start again from the starting number instead of the last result. It helps to write down every in-between result and say it out loud.
How to practice at home
Play ingredient hunt with a starting number and plus and minus steps from a die. Whoever says the final result first finds the ingredient.
