Addition game
Pictograph Addition is a visual addition game where learners count matching pictures in two boxes and choose the total. The game includes two levels: add up to 10 and add up to 20. Each level keeps a full pool of possible questions, then asks 20 random questions without repeats during the run. Correct answers add 2 points, while a wrong answer removes 1 point only once for that question.
Pictograph Addition uses two visual boxes for every problem. If the question is 4 + 3, the first box shows four matching pictures and the second box shows three of the same picture. The player counts both groups and chooses the total. Keeping the picture type the same in both boxes helps learners focus on addition instead of sorting unrelated objects.
The add up to 10 level includes every ordered addition question with a total from 0 through 10, giving 66 possible questions. The add up to 20 level uses the same complete approach through 20, giving 231 possible questions. Each play session asks 20 random questions from the selected pool, so practice stays short while avoiding repeated questions inside the run.
A correct answer is worth 2 points. If a player chooses a wrong answer, the score drops by 1 point for that question. More wrong taps on the same question do not subtract additional points, so the learner can correct the mistake by recounting the pictures and trying again.
Picture groups make addition concrete. Learners can count the first set, count the second set, and then combine both counts into one total. This supports the transition from counting objects to understanding number sentences such as 6 + 5 = 11. It is especially helpful for learners who are still building fluency with sums to 10 and sums to 20.
The game is built as a standalone SumReflex play folder with its own HTML, CSS, JavaScript, copied local audio effects, generated instruction audio, thumbnail, and open graph image. It uses the SumReflex branded loading animation and shows a styled landscape prompt on narrow portrait screens where the two picture boxes would otherwise feel cramped.
Start with add up to 10 for counting confidence, then move to add up to 20 when the learner can combine small groups more quickly. Encourage the player to say the addition sentence aloud before choosing an answer, then check whether the final score improves across runs.
