Smash Those Bugs Digital Math Game for 3rd graders are the perfect tools to introduce third grade students to addition and subtraction. Some kids like bugs and others want to smash them.
I recall the excitement of playing the Bug Smash game during our class’s math day. It was not just about squashing those colorful bugs but also a sneaky way to practice our addition and subtraction skills.
To my surprise, I learned that some students could not add or subtract at their grade level. Either they were bored or just understand regrouping or without regrouping. I understand how little minds can get confused.
