Follow the clues step by step, then you will find the ingredient!
You start with a number and work out each clue one after another.
Example: 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 keep calculating with the result from the step before.
The filled in numbers show the answer.
Example
For parents
What does this exercise practice?
Confidently calculate several addition and subtraction steps in a row within the number range up to 1000 and keep the intermediate result in mind.
Common pitfalls
Children often calculate from the starting number again instead of from the last result. It helps to write down each intermediate result and say it out loud.
How to practice at home
Play ingredient hunt with a starting number and dice-rolled addition and subtraction steps. Whoever names the final result first finds the ingredient.
