Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about something super fun called addition. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Addition is like putting your toys together to see how many you have. If you have two toy cars and get one more, you count them all to see how many cars you have now. That’s addition!
When we write numbers like this, it’s called a math sentence or equation. In our math sentence, we use a plus sign (+) to show we’re adding. We also use an equal sign (=) to show the answer.
The numbers we add are called addends. When we add them together, we get the sum. So, addend plus addend equals sum!
Bailey loves balloons. She has two balloons in one hand and one balloon in the other. Let’s see how many balloons she has: 2 balloons + 1 balloon = 3 balloons. Bailey has 3 balloons!
Now, let’s count Carl’s cookies. Carl ate 3 cookies on Monday and 1 cookie on Tuesday. How many cookies did Carl eat? 3 cookies + 1 cookie = 4 cookies. Carl ate 4 cookies!
Aaron went apple picking. He picked 4 apples from one tree and 2 apples from another. How many apples did he pick? 4 apples + 2 apples = 6 apples. Aaron picked 6 apples!
Dolly collects dinosaurs. She has 5 dinosaurs on her bed and 3 on her shelf. How many dinosaurs does she have? 5 dinosaurs + 3 dinosaurs = 8 dinosaurs. Dolly has 8 dinosaurs!
Marlin collects marbles. He has 8 marbles and got 2 more for his birthday. How many marbles does he have now? 8 marbles + 2 marbles = 10 marbles. Marlin has 10 marbles!
Sandy was collecting seashells. She found 6 shells by a palm tree and 3 by a tide pool. How many shells did she collect? 6 shells + 3 shells = 9 shells. Sandy collected 9 shells!
Lamar has lollipops. Let’s see how many he has: 5 lollipops + 2 lollipops = 7 lollipops. Lamar has 7 lollipops!
Now, let’s count Daisy’s donuts. She has 7 donuts and gets 3 more. How many donuts does she have? 7 donuts + 3 donuts = 10 donuts. Daisy has 10 donuts!
Help me count Tina’s trucks. She has 3 trucks on the table and 2 on the floor. How many trucks does she have? 3 trucks + 2 trucks = 5 trucks. Tina has 5 trucks!
Pablo loves pizza! He ate 6 pizzas last week and 4 this week. How many pizzas has he eaten? 6 pizzas + 4 pizzas = 10 pizzas. Pablo has eaten 10 pizzas!
You did an amazing job with addition! Remember, when you add, you’re putting numbers together to see how many there are all together. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a math superstar!
Thanks for learning with us! See you next time!
Counting with Nature: Go on a nature walk and collect small items like leaves, stones, or flowers. Once you have a collection, practice addition by grouping them together. For example, if you have 3 leaves and find 2 more, how many leaves do you have in total? This helps you see addition in the world around you!
Snack Time Math: Use your favorite snacks like crackers or fruit slices to practice addition. Count how many snacks you have, then add a few more. For instance, if you have 4 crackers and add 3 more, how many do you have now? Enjoy your snacks while learning!
Story Time Addition: Create a short story with your toys. For example, if you have 2 toy cars and a friend gives you 3 more, how many cars do you have for your story adventure? Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can solve your addition problem!
Welcome to EZA Homeschool Academy: Basic Edition for Kids! Hi everyone! Today, we are going to talk about addition.
What is addition? Addition is putting two or more numbers together to find out how much there is all together. Did you get that? Let me say it again: addition is putting two or more numbers together to find out how much there is all together.
Let us talk about some addition terms. When you see something written like this, it is called an equation or a math sentence. Now let’s take a closer look at our math sentence. When you see something like this, it is called a plus sign. When you see something like this, it is called an equal sign.
Remember, when adding, we’re putting two or more numbers together to find out how much there is all together. Those numbers have special names. Each number in our number sentence is called an addend. So we have an addend plus an addend together gives us the sum.
So let’s review: when you see something like this, it is called the equation. This part of the equation is the plus sign, and this part of the equation is the equal sign. This is an addend, here is another addend, and together they make the sum.
Okay, now it’s time to help me with some addition questions!
Bailey loves balloons. She has two balloons in one hand and one balloon in the other hand. Let’s see how many balloons she has all together: two balloons plus one balloon equals three balloons. So, Bailey has three balloons.
Let’s count Carl’s cookies. Carl ate three cookies on Monday and one cookie on Tuesday. Let’s see how many cookies Carl ate all together: three cookies plus one cookie equals four cookies. So, Carl ate four cookies.
Aaron went apple picking. He picked four apples from one tree and two apples from another tree. Let’s see how many apples he picked all together: four apples plus two apples equals six apples. So, Aaron picked six apples.
Dolly collects dinosaurs. She has five dinosaurs on her bed and three dinosaurs on her shelf. Let’s see how many dinosaurs she has all together: five dinosaurs on her bed plus three dinosaurs on her shelf equals eight dinosaurs all together. So, Dolly has eight dinosaurs.
Marlin collects marbles. He has eight marbles in his collection and got two more for his birthday. Let’s see how many marbles he has now: eight marbles plus two marbles equals ten marbles all together. So, Marlin now has ten marbles in his collection.
Sandy was collecting seashells at the seashore. She found six shells by a palm tree and three shells by a tide pool. Let’s see how many shells Sandy collected at the seashore: six shells plus three shells equals nine shells. So, Sandy collected nine seashells at the seashore.
Lamar has lots of lollipops. Let’s see how many lollipops Lamar has: five lollipops plus two lollipops equals seven lollipops. So, Lamar has seven lollipops all together.
Now let’s count Daisy’s donuts. Daisy has seven donuts plus three donuts. I wonder how many donuts that is all together: seven donuts plus three donuts equals ten donuts. So, Daisy has ten donuts all together.
Help me count Tina’s trucks. She has three trucks on the table and two trucks on the floor. Let’s see how many trucks Tina has all together: three trucks plus two trucks equals five trucks. So, Tina has five trucks all together.
Pablo loves pizza! I’m sure he’s not the only one. Pablo ate six pizzas last week, and this week he’s already eaten four pizzas. Let’s see how many pizzas Pablo has eaten so far: six pizzas plus four pizzas equals ten pizzas. So, Pablo has eaten ten pizzas.
Great job going over those number sentences with me! There were some tricky ones in there, but I know if you keep practicing, you’re going to be a superstar at addition. Remember, when you’re doing addition, you’re putting two or more numbers together to find out how much there is all together.
