📘 How to Play Target Sum

In Target Sum, a specific goal number appears on the screen. Your task is to find the pair of numbers that add up exactly to that target.

1. Focus on the goal number shown at the top.
2. Identify the two boxes whose sum matches the goal.
3. Click or tap both selected boxes.
4. Score points for accuracy or reset and try again.

👶 What to expect at ages 6-10

Children aged 6-10 are developing addition strategies; they will need to experiment with number combinations to reach the target. Since difficulty is fixed, they will practice quick thinking and understanding number relationships within the tens system.

🏠 At home and in class

Ask your child which two numbers they chose and how they calculated the sum in their head. When a wrong answer clears, ask 'What was missing?' to reinforce logical reasoning during gameplay.

💡 Tips

• Focus on the tens digits when the goal is near a multiple of 10.
• If you pick one large number, mentally add what is still needed.
• Don't fear cleared selections; use them to spot patterns.
