7 + 1
You have 7 stickers. Your friend gives you 1 more. How many do you have now?
We can write this as 7 plus 1.
Let's use a number line to help us see.
We start at 7.
Adding 1 means we hop just one step to the very next number.
We land on 8!
Plus one always means the next number when we count.
So 7 plus 1 is 8. You have 8 stickers. Nice work!
