Addition chart

Adding means putting groups together and counting how many you have now. The picture shows three red apples and two green apples. Three plus two is five. We write that as 3 + 2 = 5.

The plus sign + means add. The equals sign = means “is the same as”. You can add in any order: 3 + 2 and 2 + 3 both make 5. Adding zero does not change a number, so 7 + 0 = 7.

Chart from 0 to 10

Find one number down the side and the other across the top. Where they meet is the total. Try 4 down and 6 across: the square says 10, because 4 + 6 = 10.
