Adding 2

Key notes

🧮 Key Points:
  • Adding means putting together.
    Example: 2 + 2 = 4
  • When we add 2, the number becomes bigger by 2.
  • We can use fingers, objects, or number lines to add 2.
🍎 Examples:
  • 3 + 2 = 5
  • 4 + 2 = 6
  • 7 + 2 = 9
  • 10 + 2 = 12
📏 Using a Number Line:

👉 Start at a number and jump 2 steps forward.

Example: Start at 5, jump 2 steps → Land on 7
So, 5 + 2 = 7 ✅

🎲 Fun Practice:
  1. 6 + 2 = ___
  2. 9 + 2 = ___
  3. 1 + 2 = ___
  4. 8 + 2 = ___
🖍️ Visual Example (for teaching with pictures):
  • 🍏🍏🍏 + 🍏🍏 = 5 apples
  • 🐠🐠🐠🐠 + 🐠🐠 = 6 fish

Learn with an example

🗼Add. 2+7=

  • You can count on to find 2+7.
  • It is easier to start with the larger number. So, start at 7. Count on 2 times.
  • You end at 9.
  • 2+7=9

🗼Add. 9+2=

  • You can count on to find 9+2.
  • Start at 9 and count on 2 times.
  • You end at 11.
  • 9+2=11

🗼Add. 2+2=

  • You can count on to find 2+2.
  • Start at 2 and count on 2 times.
  • You end at 4.
  • 2+2=4
  • You can also add using doubles. Remember that 2+2=4.
