This subject covers foundational math concepts for first graders, including addition, subtraction, and basic number sense.
Addition means joining groups of things to find out how many there are altogether.

You can write this as: \(2 + 3 = 5\)
The plus sign \((+)\) means put together, and the equals sign \((=)\) shows the answer.
You can use your fingers, count objects, or even draw pictures to help you add.
When you play with friends, you might add your toys together to see how many you all have.
