What is Addition?
Addition is putting numbers together to find the total!
When we add, we combine things to see how many we have altogether. It's like when you have 2 apples and
get 3 more - now you have 5 apples!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects like toys or snacks to practice addition - "You have 2 crackers, I'll give you 3 more. How many do you have now?"
- Make it a game by having your child hop forward the number of steps for each addend to find the total.
- Start with sums up to 5 before moving to 10 to build confidence gradually.
