Slide 1: Introduction to Addition
- Definition of Addition: Addition is the process of putting together two or more numbers to find their total.
- Symbol for Addition: The symbol we use for addition is ‘+’.
- Example: If we have 2 apples and we get 3 more apples, we can say 2 + 3 = 5.
Slide 2: Basic Terminology
- Addends: The numbers you add together are called addends.
- Sum: The result of addition is called the sum.
- Example: In 4 + 5 = 9, 4 and 5 are addends, and 9 is the sum.
Slide 3: Visualizing Addition with Objects
- Using Objects: Addition can be easier to understand using physical objects like blocks or fruits.
- Example:
- If you have 3 blocks and you add 2 more, how many do you have in total?
- 3 + 2 = 5
- Activity Suggestion: Use your toys at home to practice addition!

Slide 4: Number Line for Addition
- What is a Number Line?: A number line is a straight line with numbers placed at equal intervals.
- How to Use It for Addition:
- Start at the first number, then move to the right based on the second number.
- Example: To solve 4 + 3, start at 4 and move 3 spaces to the right to land on 7.
- Helpful Tip: Number lines can help visualize the process of addition!

Slide 5: Word Problems Involving Addition
- What are Word Problems?: These are math problems written in sentences that require you to use addition to solve them.
- Example of a Word Problem:
- "Emily has 5 stickers. She buys 2 more. How many stickers does she have now?"
- Solution: 5 + 2 = 7 stickers.
- Practice: Create your own word problems!
Slide 6: Fun Addition Games
