What is Single-Digit Addition?
Addition is like putting things together to make a bigger group!
When we add two single-digit numbers (from 0 to 9), we're combining them to find the total. It's like counting all your red and blue marbles together!
How to Add Single-Digit Numbers
1️⃣ Count the first number on your fingers or with objects
2️⃣ Add the second number by counting more fingers or objects
3️⃣ The total is your answer! The sum is how many you have altogether

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use everyday objects like toys or snacks to make addition tangible and fun
- Play addition games - roll dice and add the numbers, or play "how many fingers am I holding up?"
- Celebrate small wins - praise effort as much as correct answers to build confidence
