Example: 2 + 4= 6
2 sharks were swimming and 4 sharks joined them. Now, there are 6 sharks.
This strategy really solidifies a students understanding of what is actually happening when we add. They aren't just numbers floating around in our head!

Awesome Addition
Today was a fantastic day in 1st grade. Our students did a great job reviewing what we have learned so far regarding adding 2 numbers together. We know that when we ADD, we are joining 2 numbers and making one larger number! Today, we had a chance to turn our number sentences into addition stories! Students got story boards and used cubes to tell a story.
Example: 2 + 4= 6
2 sharks were swimming and 4 sharks joined them. Now, there are 6 sharks.
