What is Addition?
Addition is putting numbers together to make a bigger number!
When we add, we combine things and count how many we have altogether. It's like when you have 2 cookies
and get 1 more - now you have 3 cookies!
How to Add Small Numbers
1️⃣ Count the first group of items
2️⃣ Count the second group of items
3️⃣ Count all the items together to find the total!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects like toys or snacks to practice adding - "You have 2 crackers, I'll give you 1 more. Now how many do you have?"
- Make it a game! Have your child hop forward 2 steps, then 3 more steps, and count the total hops.
- Celebrate small successes with high-fives or stickers to keep your child motivated.
