A selection of topic skills
Solve each problem by counting, drawing, or using number bonds.
- 1.Solve the addition sentence: 4 + 3 = ?
- 2.Count on to find the sum: Start at 8 and count on 2 more. What is the total?
- 3.Word Problem: You have 5 red apples and 4 green apples. How many apples do you have in total?
- 4.Use a number bond: If the total is 10 and one part is 6, what is the missing part?
- 5.Word Problem: There are 7 birds on a branch. 3 more birds land on the branch. How many birds are there now?
- 6.Compare the sums: Which is greater, 5 + 5 or 4 + 2?
What Your Child Will Learn
In Kindergarten, addition begins with the concept of combining groups of objects. Children learn to count forward from a given number, use their fingers and manipulatives to model 'putting together,' and begin recognizing that when we add, the total gets larger. These early experiences with combining sets lay the groundwork for all future arithmetic.
Kindergarten addition focuses on sums up to 10 using concrete materials like counters, linking cubes, and ten frames. Students learn to represent addition stories with pictures and simple number sentences. The emphasis is on understanding what addition means rather than memorizing facts.
Skills Covered
- Combining groups of objects to find a total
- Counting on from a given number
- Using ten frames and counters to model addition
- Representing addition with pictures and symbols
- Solving simple addition stories (sums to 10)
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): understanding quantity relationships and using counting strategies to add.
Parent Tip: Use everyday moments to practise addition — counting toys together, adding snacks to a plate, or combining groups while playing. Keep it playful and concrete.

Check my workFrequently Asked Questions
How many addition problems should my child practice each day?
10-15 problems per day is ideal. Short, consistent daily sessions build addition fluency faster than long, infrequent practice. Focus on accuracy first, then speed.
What addition strategies should my child learn?
Key strategies include counting on, making ten, doubles and near-doubles, and breaking numbers apart (decomposition). Start with manipulatives, then move to mental math.
When should my child have addition facts memorized?
Most curricula expect basic addition fact fluency (sums to 18) by the end of Grade 2. Grade 3-4 students should handle multi-digit addition with regrouping confidently.
