Put them together and count them all
In kindergarten, addition means putting groups together. Kids join 2 bears and 3 bears and count them all to find 5. They act out little story problems, draw pictures and use fingers and ten frames to add within 10. They also learn to break numbers apart in different ways: 5 = 4 + 1 and 5 = 3 + 2. By the end of the year, most kindergarteners add and subtract within 5 quickly and find the number that makes 10 with any number from 1 to 9. The click is when a child says "3 and 2 is 5" without counting!
Five-year-olds learn addition with their hands first. These moves start there.
Tell a story with toys: "Two ducks were swimming. One more duck came. How many now?" Kids push the groups together and count them all. Acting out the story gives the plus sign real meaning before kids ever write it.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.
Try it withJoining Groups to Add WorksheetsWorksheetsOpen it →Give kids a ten frame and two colors of counters. Show 6 red and 4 yellow and ask, "How many? How many more to fill it?" Ten frames help kids see numbers in groups instead of counting one by one.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withUsing a Tens Frame to Show Addition WorksheetWorksheetsOpen it →Play an Adding 1 song during snack time and hold up fingers as you sing. Then ask "What is 6 plus 1?" Kids who sing the pattern quickly notice that adding one is just the next counting number.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Kindergarteners add within 10 using objects, fingers or drawings, and they should add within 5 quickly. They also break numbers into parts and find the number that makes 10.
Use real objects like snacks or toys and tell little stories: "You have 3 crackers and I give you 2 more." Let your child count them all. Move to pictures and numbers only after they understand the idea.
Not yet. The goal in kindergarten is understanding. Kids should know facts within 5 quickly, but most memorizing comes in 1st and 2nd grade.
Decomposing means breaking a number into parts. For example, 6 can be 5 and 1, 4 and 2, or 3 and 3. It helps kids see how numbers fit together.
