Addition

Math

• The child learned the concept of addition by combining two sets of objects together to find the total.
• They practiced adding numbers within 10 by using their fingers or counting on a number line.
• The child learned the commutative property of addition, realizing that the order of the numbers being added does not affect the sum.
• They practiced solving simple word problems involving addition, such as "There were 3 apples on the table. Sam added 2 more. How many apples are there now?"

To continue developing their addition skills, encourage the child to play math games that involve adding numbers, such as "War" or "Roll and Add". They can also create their own addition flashcards and practice solving them. Additionally, real-life scenarios like counting objects at the grocery store or sharing toys with friends can provide practical opportunities to reinforce the concept of addition.
