Practice at Home
Grab any small objects you have and have your child practice counting and combining them and then counting again!

Questions to Ask Your Child While They’re Learning:

Questions to Ask During Everyday Situations
How many [objects] do you have now?
(After adding a few more to the group)
What happens when we put these two groups together?
(Encourage them to combine the objects physically)
Can you show me how you got that answer?
(Ask them to explain their thinking process)
If I gave you one more [object], how many would you have then?
What if you took one (or two) away—how many would be left?
(To introduce subtraction as well)

Questions to Encourage Deeper Thinking
How do you know that’s the right answer?
Can you think of another way to figure it out?
(Encouraging them to solve the problem differently, such as using
drawings)
If you started with a different number, what would happen?
Can you show me what adding these looks like in a drawing?

Questions to Make Connections
How does this problem remind you of the [other situation] we did
earlier?
What’s happening in this addition problem, and how is it like adding
real objects together?
Can you think of another time when you might need to add things
together?
(Helping them see the relevance of addition in everyday life)

Encourage your child to explain their thinking—it’s a great way to strengthen their understanding and problem-solving skills!
