How we explain it

Children can open this short lesson before they practise.

  1. Adding puts groups together.
  2. Taking away means some go away.
  3. Count what is left or what you have in all.

Example: 3 birds sit on a branch. 2 more fly in. How many now? Start with 3. Count on 2 more: 4, 5. Answer: 5 birds
