• Addition means putting together.
  • When we add 4, we increase the number by four more.
  • Use fingers, objects, number line, or pictures to add 4.

Using Objects

  • 🍎🍎 + 🍎🍎🍎🍎 = 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎 → 2 + 4 = 6

On Number Line

  • Start at 3 → Jump 4 steps forward → Land on 7
  • So, 3 + 4 = 7

Simple Sums

  • 1 + 4 = 5
  • 2 + 4 = 6
  • 5 + 4 = 9
  • 7 + 4 = 11

👉 When adding 4, just count 4 numbers forward.
Example: 6 + 4 → count → 7, 8, 9, 10 → 10


  1. 3 + 4 = ___
  2. 6 + 4 = ___
  3. 8 + 4 = ___
  4. 10 + 4 = ___
  5. 12 + 4 = ___
  • You can count on to find 10+4.
  • Start at 10 and count on 4 times.
  • You end at 14.
  • 10+4=14

_________________________________________________

  • You can also think about place value to add.
  • 10+4 is 1 ten and 4 ones.
tensones
14
  • That makes 14.
  • 10+4=14

When you add 0 to a number, the number stays the same.

4+0=4

You can count on to find 6+4.

Start at 6 and count on 4 times.

  • You end at 10.
  • 6+4=10
