Teaching Addition Count on 2 Facts Using a Number Line or Ten Frame
Channel: Professor Pete's Classroom
Date: 2014-11-05

The first sets of addition facts children should learn are the "count on" facts, where we add 1, 2, or 3 (we don't recommend counting beyond 3).

The basic strategy we are aiming for is familiarity with the sequence of counting numbers, and the ability to count on by 2 from any starting number.

For a fact starting with two (e.g., 2 + 5), the child should start with the larger number and then count on by 2 (5, 6, 7).
