Talking Points
- Adding Numbers: "When we add numbers, we are putting them together to find the total."
- Carrying Over: "Sometimes when we add, the total is more than 9 in a column. We carry over the extra to the next column."
- Practice Makes Perfect: "The more we practice, the better we become at adding numbers together. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, that's how we learn!"
