How Do We Add Three or More Numbers?

First comes 1, then comes 2, and don’t forget 3… Let’s add step by step!

1. Start with the first number—it’s your starting point.
2. Add the second number to it—step by step we go!
3. Then bring in the third number—it’s like adding sprinkles to your ice cream!
4. If there are more numbers, just keep going until they’re all added up!

Adding is like building blocks: one block on top of another makes something tall and strong!

Let’s Try an Example Together!

Sarah has 123 stickers. Her friend gives her 45 more stickers, and her cousin sends 78 stickers. How many stickers does Sarah have now?

Step 1: Start with 123 (Sarah's stickers).

Step 2: Add 45 (her friend's stickers): 123 + 45 = 168.

Step 3: Now add 78 (her cousin's stickers): 168 + 78 = 246.

Ta-da! Sarah has 246 stickers—that’s a sticker party! 🎉

Tips for Superhero Parents 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

• Use objects like candies, toys, or coins to show how addition works.
• Make it fun! Sing songs while solving problems (“One plus two equals threeeee…”).
• Break bigger numbers into smaller parts to make it easier (e.g., 123 = 100 + 20 + 3).
• Celebrate every small win—high fives work wonders!

🌟 Wow! You’re a math superstar! 🌟

Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be adding faster than a rocket ship blasting off! 🚀
