Explore four approaches: 

• Counters: Move and count objects to combine two groups.
• Draw a Picture: Represent each amount with pictures, dots, or simple shapes.
• Ten Frames: Organize quantities and see how the parts form a total.
• Number Lines: Start at the first number and jump forward to add.

Each section includes a worked example, guided practice, independent practice, and a create-your-own page. Learners can use everyday objects alongside the workbook; stamps or stickers can also support children who find drawing tiring.

Worked solutions that help teach

Step-by-step answer keys follow each practice section. 
Visual solutions help learners compare their work, check that both amounts are represented, and notice where their counting or steps may have gone off track. Use at home, in the classroom, or during individual support. Start where the learner feels successful and explore helpful strategies at their pace.
