Put together joins two parts into a whole.
Take apart splits a whole into parts.
A box has 6 crayons. 4 are red, and the rest are blue. 6 is the whole and 4 is 1 part, so count on from 4 to 6: 5, 6. 2 are blue.
Nothing leaves the box, so the whole stays 6.
The 2 parts together make the whole, so 4 and the other part make 6.
6 = 4 + 2 is the number sentence for the story.
You know the whole and 1 part. Count on from the part to the whole.
Adding the 2 numbers because there are 2 of them: 6 + 4 = 10.
6 is already the whole. Find the part that makes 6 with 4: 2.
A jar has 8 beads. 1 is red, and the rest are blue. How many are blue? — 7. 8 is the whole and 1 is 1 part. Count on from 1 to 8: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 7 are blue.
Maya is picking apples. She has four red apples and three green apples. How many apples does she have all together?
Here are her four red apples.
And here are her three green apples.
We have two parts — the red apples and the green apples. To find how many in all, we put them together. That means we add!
We write four plus three equals what?
Let's count every apple: one, two, three, four... five, six, seven!
Four plus three equals seven.
Maya has seven apples in all. Great work!
