Learning Basic Adding

There are many different ways to teach the basic addition facts and teachers/parents have their favorite ways to do it.  It is important to use manipulative tools, such as Usborne Learning Wrap-ups, addition flashcards,  or make your own using everything from food to school supplies. It is also important to teach the student their addition fact families. 2+4=6, 4+2=6, 6-4=2, 6-2=4
