When your student is first introduced to addition within 10, it’s important to reinforce the concept of quantity. The more ways they are introduced to this, the more they’ll understand that numbers and arithmetic operations are representative of quantities of things, and how those quantities change.
Represent quantities with different forms. This could be fingers, objects, sounds like clapping or snapping, or drawn images.
