Let’s Have Fun Adding with Number One!

Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn how to add using the number one. It’s super fun and easy! Let’s start counting and adding together.

Adding One to Numbers

When we add one to a number, we just count up by one. Let’s see how it works:

  • One plus nine equals ten. (1 + 9 = 10)
  • One plus two equals three. (1 + 2 = 3)
  • One plus zero equals one. (1 + 0 = 1)
  • One plus six equals seven. (1 + 6 = 7)
  • One plus one equals two. (1 + 1 = 2)
  • One plus five equals six. (1 + 5 = 6)
  • One plus ten equals eleven. (1 + 10 = 11)
  • One plus four equals five. (1 + 4 = 5)
  • One plus seven equals eight. (1 + 7 = 8)
  • One plus three equals four. (1 + 3 = 4)
  • One plus eight equals nine. (1 + 8 = 9)

Adding with Stories

Let’s make adding even more fun with some little stories!

Blocks Story

Imagine you have one block. Then, you find four more blocks. How many blocks do you have now? Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five! You have five blocks. So, one plus four equals five.

Flower Story

Picture a garden with one flower. Suddenly, five more flowers bloom! How many flowers are there now? Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six! There are six flowers. So, one plus five equals six.

Mail Story

You have one piece of mail. The mailman brings seven more pieces. How many pieces of mail do you have now? Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! You have eight pieces of mail. So, one plus seven equals eight.

Practice Makes Perfect

Let’s practice some more:

  • One plus six equals seven. (1 + 6 = 7)
  • One plus nine equals ten. (1 + 9 = 10)
  • One plus one equals two. (1 + 1 = 2)
  • One plus eight equals nine. (1 + 8 = 9)
  • One plus five equals six. (1 + 5 = 6)
  • One plus three equals four. (1 + 3 = 4)
  • One plus zero equals one. (1 + 0 = 1)
  • One plus ten equals eleven. (1 + 10 = 11)
  • One plus two equals three. (1 + 2 = 3)

Great job! Keep practicing, and you’ll be an adding expert in no time. Remember, adding is just counting up, and it’s always fun to learn with stories and numbers!

  • Can you think of a time when you added one more of something, like toys or snacks? How did it feel to have one more?
  • If you could add one more of anything to your day, what would it be and why?
  • Imagine you are in a story where you keep finding one more of something special. What would you like to find more of, and what would you do with them?
  1. Number Hunt: Go on a number hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that come in pairs or groups, like shoes, pencils, or apples. Add one more to each group and count how many you have now. For example, if you find two shoes, add one more shoe and count to see how many shoes you have in total. Share your findings with a friend or family member!

  2. Story Time Addition: Create your own addition story using toys or drawings. For example, draw a picture of one car and then draw three more cars joining it. How many cars are there now? Tell your story to the class or your family, and explain how you added one to find the total number.

  3. Counting Walk: Take a walk outside and count things you see, like trees, birds, or cars. Each time you see one, add one more to your count. For instance, if you see one bird and then another, count “one, two” to see how many birds you have seen in total. Try to find as many things as you can and practice adding one to each!
