What is it? A tool for practising addition • Give each letter a value equivalent to its position in the alphabet. • The value of any given word is the sum of the letter values. • For extra adding practice, each page can be totalled.
A = 1 B = 2 C = 3 D = 4 E = 5 F = 6 G = 7 H = 8 I = 9 J = 10 K = 11 L = 12 M = 13 N = 14 O = 15 P = 16 Q = 17 R = 18 S = 19 T = 20 U = 21 V = 22 W = 23 X = 24 Y = 25 Z = 26 APPLE = 1 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5 = 50 QUEEN = 17 + 21 + 5 + 5 + 14 = 62 ALPHABET = 1 + 12 + 16 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 20 = 65 MATHEMATICS = 13 + 1 + 20 + 8 + 5 + 13 + 1 + 20 + 9 + 3 + 19 = 112
