Adding Problems for Kids – Learning Math

Hey there! Are you excited about Friday? Guess what? It’s going to be my birthday party! Yay!

Counting Friends for the Party

Do you know how many friends are coming to my party? I need to figure it out so I can send out invitations. I have friends from two different classes, and I want to invite them all!

How Many Invitations Do I Need?

Let’s see. I want to invite nine friends from my first class. Then, I want to invite eight friends from my second class. But how many invitations do I need in total?

Let’s Do Some Adding!

Okay, let’s add the numbers together. We have nine friends from the first class and eight friends from the second class. So, nine plus eight equals… seventeen!

When we add nine and eight, we get seventeen. We can write the number seventeen with a seven in the units column and a one in the tens column. Isn’t that cool?

  • Can you think of a time when you had to count or add things together, like toys or snacks? How did you figure out the total number?
  • If you were planning a party, who would you invite, and how would you make sure you have enough invitations for everyone?
  • Why do you think it’s important to know how to add numbers? Can you think of other situations where adding might be helpful?
  1. Party Invitation Craft: Create your own party invitations! Use colored paper, crayons, and stickers to design invitations for your imaginary party. Count how many invitations you make and practice adding more if you invite additional friends. For example, if you make 5 invitations and then decide to invite 3 more friends, how many invitations do you need in total?

  2. Number Line Adventure: Draw a number line on a long piece of paper or use chalk outside. Mark numbers from 0 to 20. Start at number 9 and take 8 steps forward. Where do you land? This will help you visualize adding numbers. Try starting from different numbers and adding different amounts to see where you end up!

  3. Counting in Everyday Life: Next time you go to the grocery store, count how many apples you put in the basket. Then, count how many bananas you add. Can you add the two numbers together to find out how many pieces of fruit you have in total? Try this with different items to practice adding numbers in real life!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Oh, I can’t wait for Friday! Did you know that we’re going to have my birthday party then?

Yes! How many people are coming?

Have you given out invitations yet?

No, I have to count how many friends are going to be there. Oh, I have class; I don’t want to be late. We will talk later.

So, how many friends are going to the party?

How many invitations do I need to send?

If I want to invite nine classmates from my first class and eight classmates from my second class, I need to know how many invitations I need.

I have to add up the number of friends I want to invite. From the first class, I am going to invite nine people, and from the second class, I’m going to invite eight people.

Let’s add!

If we have nine friends in the first class and eight friends in the second class, nine plus eight is seventeen.

Let’s put seven here in the units column and the one in the tens column. Great! There are seventeen!
