Number Friends That Add Up
Numbers love to make friends and add up to new numbers!
Just like you can have 2 red blocks and 3 blue blocks to make 5 blocks total, numbers can combine in
many ways to make the same total. Let's explore all the fun combinations!
How to Find Number Combinations
1️⃣ Start with a number (like 5)
2️⃣ Find two numbers that add up to it (2 + 3)
3️⃣ Discover all possible combinations (1+4, 2+3, 3+2, 4+1, 5+0)
Let's Play With Numbers!
Example 1: Number Blocks

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects: Practice with toys, snacks, or household items. "If you have 4 grapes and I give you 3 more, how many do you have?"
- Make it physical: Have your child hop or clap the numbers to make it kinesthetic learning.
- Play "Make 10": Hold up some fingers and ask how many more are needed to make 10.
