What Does Adding 8 Mean?
Adding 8 means you're putting 8 more with another number!
When we add 8 to a number, we're making it bigger by 8. It's like having some apples and getting 8 more apples - now you have more apples to share with your friends!
How to Add 8
1️⃣ Start with your first number
2️⃣ Count up 8 more using your fingers or number line
3️⃣ The number you land on is your answer!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Have your child add 8 to different numbers using small toys, blocks, or snacks to make it hands-on.
- Make it musical: Create a simple song or chant for adding 8 ("5 plus 8 is 13, let's all count and see!").
- Play store: Set up a pretend store where items cost "8 cents" plus another amount to practice adding 8 in a fun scenario.
