EXPLAIN ADDITION OF NUMBERS TO A THIRD GRADER

 Addition Explanation for Third Graders with Pictures

Addition is putting two or more numbers together to get a new number. We can add numbers using pictures by drawing dots or circles.

For example, let's add 3 and 2. We can draw 3 dots and 2 dots, and then count the total number of dots.

There are 5 dots in total, so 3 plus 2 equals 5.

We can also add numbers using number lines. Let's add 3 and 2 again. Start at 3 on the number line and then jump 2 to the right. You will land on 5.
