Parent guide

In Kindergarten, addition is a new idea, not a memorized fact. Most five and six year olds understand it best as joining two small groups and counting what you have. Written equations are still strange, so expect slow answers and a few fingers.

Start with sums to 5 at the easy level, where both numbers stay small. Medium brings in zero and a sum of exactly 5. When your kid answers without counting from one, try sums to 10. Hard sheets in both variants hide one number in the equation, which is a big step, so wait until the easy and medium sheets feel calm.

Doubles are a friendly next stop. Two plus two and three plus three are easy to picture, because kids see pairs everywhere, like eyes, shoes and hands. Making ten asks a different question: what goes with 7 to make 10? Use ten small objects and slide them from one side to the other so your kid can see the answer.

Keep it playful and brief. Five problems with a snack beats a full page with a frown. If your kid is tired, stop and come back tomorrow.
