Fun with Counting and Addition!
What do you already know about counting and adding?
Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson you will be able to count objects, add numbers together, and use sounds or movements to practise addition.
What is Counting?
Counting means saying numbers in order while matching them to objects, actions, or sounds around us.
Adding with Objects
We can use blocks, toys, or other things to add. Place two groups together and count them all to find the answer.
Invisible Counting
You can count things you cannot see, like claps, clicks, or jumps. Feel free to make sounds and count aloud!
Let's Practise Adding
Clap 4 times, then clap 3 more times. Count all claps together!
Adding Sounds
Put 3 toy cars on the table. Add 2 more. How many are there now?
Adding Objects

Reflection
How can you use counting and adding at home? Try using both objects and sounds to practise every day!
