Rule houses

The rule is in the roof. It is the same for every floor.
On the left there is a number, on the right you write its result.

Example: the roof shows + 4.
The first floor has the 6. What goes next to it?
6 + 4 = 10, so the 10 belongs next to it.

Tip: count up to the 10 first. From the 6 it is 4 steps to the 10 - exactly the step from the roof.
The number filled in shows the solution.

Example

+ 46101115913

For parents

What does this exercise practice?

Apply the same rule confidently to several numbers and use the ten as a stepping stone.

Common pitfalls

Some children add up the numbers of the floors. Ask: what does the roof say, and what do you do with it to every number?

How to practice at home

Think up a rule ("always 3 more") and call out numbers to each other in turns. Whoever applies the rule correctly first thinks up the next one.
