  1. 4 + 1 = ? — 5. 4 plus 1 more = 5!
  2. Tom has 6 stickers. He gets 2 more. How many stickers does he have? — 8. 6 + 2 = 8. Tom now has 8 stickers!
  3. Which number sentence matches: "3 cats join 5 cats"? — 3 + 5 = 8. "Join" means add: 3 + 5 = 8!
  4. 7 + 2 = ? — 9. 7 + 2 = 9. Count on from 7: 8, 9!
  5. There are 1 bird in a tree and 8 birds on the ground. How many birds total? — 9. 1 + 8 = 9. One plus eight equals nine birds!
  6. Does the ORDER of adding change the answer? 3 + 4 vs 4 + 3 — No, both equal 7. 3 + 4 = 7 and 4 + 3 = 7. Order does NOT change the sum — addition works both ways!
  7. ___ + 3 = 8. What is the missing number? — 5. 5 + 3 = 8. You need 5 to make 8 when you add 3!
  8. Kai has 4 pencils and finds 4 more. How many does he have in all? — 8. 4 + 4 = 8. Four plus four equals eight!
  9. 2 + 2 + 2 = ? — 6. 2 + 2 = 4, then 4 + 2 = 6. Adding three groups of 2 gives 6!
  10. There are 6 birds on a branch. 2 birds fly away. How many stay? — 4. 6 − 2 = 4. Six birds minus two that flew away leaves four!
  11. 10 − 5 = ? — 5. 10 − 5 = 5. Ten take away five equals five!
  12. Which number sentence means "7 take away 2"? — 7 − 2 = 5. "Take away" means subtract. 7 − 2 = 5!
  13. 8 − 6 = ? — 2. 8 − 6 = 2. Eight take away six leaves two!
  14. If you have 5 apples and eat all 5, how many do you have left? — 0. 5 − 5 = 0. When you take away all, nothing is left!
  15. ___ − 3 = 4. What is the missing number? — 7. 7 − 3 = 4. The missing number is 7!
  16. Which word tells you to SUBTRACT in a story problem? — Flies away. "Flies away" (or takes away, leaves, eats) signals that we subtract!
  17. 9 − 9 = ? — 0. 9 − 9 = 0. Taking away ALL of something always gives 0!
  18. Start with 10, take away 4. What is left? — 6. 10 − 4 = 6. Count back from 10 four steps: 9, 8, 7, 6!
  19. There are 7 frogs. 4 hop away. How many frogs remain? — 3. 7 − 4 = 3. Seven frogs minus four that hopped away leaves three!
  20. A number bond shows: — Two numbers that make a total. A number bond shows two parts that join together to make a whole!
  21. If 4 + 6 = 10, what is 6 + 4? — 10. 6 + 4 = 10 too! Addition works both ways — order does not change the sum!
  22. 2 + ___ = 10 — 8. 2 + 8 = 10. Two needs eight more to reach ten!
  23. Which pair does NOT add up to 10? — 4 + 7. 4 + 7 = 11, not 10. All the others equal 10!
  24. 10 − 6 = ? — 4. 10 − 6 = 4. Knowing 4 + 6 = 10 helps you subtract too!
  25. There are 10 children. 5 sit down. How many are still standing? — 5. 10 − 5 = 5. The bond 5 + 5 = 10 tells us 5 are standing!
  26. Fill in: 1 + ___ = 10 — 9. 1 + 9 = 10. One needs nine more to make ten!
  27. How many pairs of numbers make 10 (counting 5+5 once)? — 5. The pairs are: 0+10, 1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5 — that is 6 pairs, but if we count each pair once: 6. Hmm, let's say there are 6 unique bonds!
  28. You hold 10 blocks. You drop 3. How many do you still hold? (Use your bonds!) — 7. 3 + 7 = 10, so 10 − 3 = 7. You still hold 7 blocks!
  29. A ten-frame has 10 spots. 6 are filled. How many are empty? — 4. 6 + 4 = 10, so 4 spots are empty. Your number bond tells you instantly!
