Yummy Pairs

In the “Yummy Pairs” game the student can “decompose” or “deconstruct” numbers that appear as positive integers or quantities using the ten-frame representation. This means they will explore the pairs of number combinations that make up the number. They will also improve their bilateral coordination skills by trying to make symmetrical hand movements.

The avatar represents the student within an imaginary world of candies. The student attempts to match pairs of either numbers or quantities that compose a target number by stretching both hands to reach the two parts that make the whole. The teacher/therapist can select the range of the target number that the child will be asked to make (up to 100) and the difficulty level that involves the available pairs of numbers from which the student will choose. This game offers unique learning and motoric experiences to the children about how numbers can be broken apart and put back together.

Are you ready to choose the right yummy pairs from candy trees?

Reports

Pie chart data

This shows statistics of how many times the student gave correct & wrong or no answers how many times the student tried to find the correct answers

The Time is shown on the top right corner. The teacher can use the time to tell whether the task is challenging enough for the students.

 

Graph data

This table shows the time that was passed from selecting a number/quantity from the right and left side. Particularly, it shows the time between left hand (blue circle) and right hand (red circle) for all the attempts. It is clear that this student took the same time trying to select a number using his left hand compared to his right hand. The required strategy of adding doubles was not used and child gave three wrong answers.
