Tell How many Altogether? Fill in the Blanks.

Provide children enough opportunity to do addition with lots of concrete objects. Encourage children to find the total number of objects by combining two groups (aggregation) and also by adding more objects to an existing group of objects (augmentation). Practice work should be done with the children on both types of addition problems.

Add and Draw

Let us Count

A. How many brothers and sisters do your parents have altogether?

B. How many family members do you and your friend have altogether?

C. How many fingers do you have in both your hands and feet?

D. How many numbers can you count on your fingers?

Encourage children to understand and say the addition sentences aloud. For example, 4 children and 2 children altogether make 6 children and connect the word ‘make’ with the symbol of addition (+) and ‘altogether’ with the symbol of equal to (=). Children should be provided opportunities to work with concrete material in developing the vocabulary like ‘total’, ‘sum’, ‘altogether’, etc., before progressing towards symbolic representation or addition of numbers.

Count and write the total number of fingers.
