How it works

When more come, put them together. When some go, take them away.

Count how many you have now.

Say the number sentence: 2 and 3 make 5.

1 × 5 = 5
2 and 3 make 5.

Example 1: Put together

  1. 2 pears and 3 pears.
  2. Put them in one basket and count: 5.
  3. 2 + 3 = 5.

Example 2: Take away

  1. 5 pears and 2 go.
  2. Count what is left: 3.
  3. 5 − 2 = 3.

Example 3: Say it

  1. Say a sentence about it.
  2. 2 and 3 make 5.
  3. That is a number story.
