Lesson 2 of 5
Adding
Step 1
🍌🍌 + 🍌🍌🍌 = 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
Adding means putting things together. 2 + 3 = 5.
Step 2
6 ➜ 7, 8, 9
Start with the bigger number and count on. 6 + 3: say 6, then 7, 8, 9. The answer is 9.
Step 3
24 + 13 = 37
For big numbers, add the ones first, then the tens. 4 + 3 = 7 ones. 2 + 1 = 3 tens. So 37.
