Students combine two groups with a total of 5 or fewer using objects, drawings, or fingers. They connect the action of joining to simple equations like 2 + 3 = 5.

12 rungs. A star at the top.

Adding joins two small groups.
The sum is how many in all.
You have 4 crackers. Your brother gives you 3 more. You could count them all again from 1, but you already know the first plate is 4.
Counting all from 1 works, but it is slow, and it gets slower as the numbers grow.
Counting on starts from a number you already trust, so there is less to count and less to lose track of.
Start from the bigger number: for 3 + 4, say 4, then count on 5, 6, 7.
To add, start at the bigger number and count on the other one.
Saying the starting number as the first count: "4, 5, 6" for 4 + 3, and answering 6.
The starting number is what you already have. The counting begins with the first new cracker: 5.
3 + 2 = ___ — 5. Start at 3 — the number you already know — and count on 2: 4, 5.
Let's learn how to add. Adding means putting two groups together to find how many in all.
Here are two red apples on the table.
Now three more green apples come along.
Let's put them together into one big group.
Now we count them all. One…
two…
three…
four…
five! There are five apples in all.
We can write this as a number sentence: two plus three.
Equals five.
Two plus three equals five. Great job adding!
