With this game, the little ones in the house will learn to add and subtract while playing.



To design the game, the first thing I did was the shape. To do this I inserted a rectangle of about 13 x 18 cm, I made its outline so that it had rounded edges and I eliminated the previous one. With this we already have the base. We copy it.
Now we're going to make the squares with the numbers and the drawings. To make the squares inside, I inserted the square shape with rounded edges and made it 4x4cm.
I made several copies and filled them with the numbers and others with the objects. In this case I chose the shape of basketballs.
Once we have all the squares (in this case I made up to number 12) we are going to copy several inside one of the bases. We are placing them as in the image. Next, I added half a circle on top of each of the squares to make it easier to manipulate the squares.
Next, we added the text "I learn to add" and the = and + symbols. Select the shape and click on copy and paste to make the subtraction, in which now we will only have to change the interior of the squares and the text "I learn to subtract" and the symbols of = and -.



We turn on the Xtool, place the material and review the parameters (the numbers, text and drawings to engrave and all the shapes to cut).
Now we let the Xtool do its job.




Once we have all the pieces ready, we are going to take the base and on one of the sides we are going to glue the base of the sums. To do this, we put glue behind the base of the sums and put it on top of the base, squaring its corners well. Let it dry so that it sticks well.
We turn it over and do the same with the base of the subtractions.
In this way we do not have to make two different plates but we will have both in one, having the additions in front and the subtractions behind.
