What children learn in Level 36

Lightning bugs glow in the dark! 2 lightning bugs are glowing. 1 more lights up. Now 3 are glowing!
A five frame helps you add. 3 red and 2 yellow fill it up: 3 plus 2 is 5.
Your fingers help too. 4 fingers and 1 more finger make a whole hand: 5!
Adding zero is easy: 4 plus 0 is still 4. Nothing was added!
Your turn! There are 2 red counters. Add counters until there are 5.
Try it with a grown-up! Play quick facts in the car or at dinner: one person says 2 plus 2, the other answers. Take your time, and take turns!
