Hello little ones! Today we're going to learn about addition. Addition means putting things together! When we add, we count all the things to find how many we have in total. Look at these yummy apples!
Now let's use our fingers to count! Look, I have 2 fingers on one hand and 3 fingers on the other hand. When we put them together, we can count all the fingers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! So 2 plus 3 equals 5!
Look at these colorful toy cars! We have 2 cars here, and then we add 2 more cars. Let's count them all together: 1, 2, 3, 4! So 2 plus 2 equals 4 cars in total!
Now let's learn about the number line! Our little frog starts at number 1. To add 2, the frog jumps forward 2 spaces on the number line. Jump once, jump twice! The frog lands on number 3. So 1 plus 2 equals 3!
Wonderful! You've learned how to add! Look at these shiny stars. We have 3 stars plus 2 more stars, which equals 5 stars total! Remember, addition means putting things together and counting them all. You're doing great! Keep practicing and you'll become an addition superstar!
