Find two small piles of things at home, such as spoons or buttons. Join them and count. Say the addition sentence.
For example 5 spoons and 2 spoons: 5 + 2 = 7. Any correct sentence for the child's own piles is right.
2
How many lemons altogether?
9.
3
What is 7 + 3?
10.
4
Show 3 fingers on each hand. How many fingers altogether?
6. This is the double 3 + 3.
5
Say one thing that stays the same when you add 0, and tell a grown-up why.
Any number stays the same: for example 6 + 0 = 6, because nothing is added.
