Kindergarten Addition Strategies and Tools

For the BEST understanding of how to teach addition (and subtraction), refer to

Making Sense Series: the progression of addition AND subtraction, the standard traditional algorithm from Graham Fletcher at https://vimeo.com/157768846.

Also can be found at https://gfletchy.com/progression-videos/.

More basic addition using a number line and counting objects can be found at Khan Academy at https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-review-add-subtract/arith-review-basic-add-subtract/v/basic-addition. Also an intro to addition where counting objects are used can be found at at https://www.khanacademy.org/math/early-math/cc-early-math-add-sub-basics/cc-early-math-add-sub-intro/v/addition-introduction.
