Addition Math Strategies

Last week, we started learning about addition in math class. We have learned that addition means "putting things together". We now know that the symbol '+' means 'plus' and tells us to add, and that the symbol '=' means "is equal to' and tells us that what is on one side is the same as what is on the other side. We also learned some different strategies to help us solve addition problems. Some of these are below!

We can use objects to help us solve math problems...

We can 'act it out' to solve math problems...

and we can use drawings to help us solve math problems!
