What addition skills should a kindergartener know?

By the end of kindergarten, students should fluently add within 5 (CCSS K.OA.A.5) and solve addition word problems within 10 (K.OA.A.2). They should understand that addition means putting together or adding to, and be able to decompose numbers up to 10 into pairs.

How can I help my kindergartener practice addition at home?

Use physical objects like blocks, buttons, or snacks to make addition concrete. Start with adding within 5, then progress to 10. Printable addition worksheets with pictures help bridge the gap between hands-on manipulatives and abstract number sentences.
