On the left you see one group of pictures, on the right a second group.
Count both groups and put them together in your mind.
Write the matching plus task and the result.
The filled-in example next to it shows the answer.
Example
What does this exercise practice?
The task introduces the plus sign through clear pictures. The child turns a drawn amount into a calculation.
Common pitfalls
Children sometimes write down only the bigger group. Both groups really have to be added together.
How to practice at home
Make two little piles with toy figures, count them together and say the plus task out loud.
