Addition
Put amounts together, from counting on with dots to adding multi-digit numbers with carrying.
What your child learns
- Count on from the bigger number
- Use number bonds to 10 to add quickly
- Add tens and ones in columns, carrying when ones make 10 or more
Example
38 + 27: 8 + 7 = 15, write 5 carry 1; 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 → 65.
