Speed Addition
This activity is designed to help children understand how the hundreds chart is set up. For it, you need only a hundreds chart. It is motivating for most children because it moves quickly, most pick up the pattern easily, and they are adding large numbers, which for some reason most seem to enjoy. It helps get a child's attention when transitioning from one subject into math and gets them thinking for the upcoming lesson.
If you do not have a hundreds chart, you can print one off here:

Principle: God is immutable. He is constant and unchanging. From the beginning, He has had a plan for salvation which He works out through individuals.
Leading Idea: Numbers do not change. When you add two and two, the answer is always four.
Definitions:
Arithmetic is counting.
Addition is counting forward.
Subtraction is counting backward.
Scripture:
Act 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Reasoning:
The churches were established on the word of God. Despite persecution, they showed quick increase. When we obey God, we can be used to have a great impact on our communities, both local and national.
Activity:
This basically helps reinforce adding tens and the way the hundreds chart is set up. Start with a number from 1 to 10 and add ten to it then to that number, each time moving your finger down the appropriate column. Children pick this up quickly and enjoy seeing how fast they can go. For example, put your finger on the 2 and say, "2 + 10 = 12 +10 = 22 + 10 = 32, and so on, moving your finger down each time. Start slow, but pick up the pace quickly, to match what your child is capable of. If he can read numbers, he'll quickly see that the next answer is straight down in the column.
Once they have this down, you can do the same thing with subtraction, but moving from the bottom of the chart to the top.
