Try this word problem…

We have 6 oranges in a basket, and we put 7 apples in the basket. How many pieces of fruit in the basket?

Remember: Always start any problem by clearing the rings to the right

First count and move 6 rings Then count 7 more rings

6 + 7 Addition – Step 1 Add the ones – 6 and 7 67

Tell students to: “Build a picture of the problem” Remember the Grouping Method

6 + 7 Add the ones – 6 and 7 Addition – Step 2

On MathLine see the sum = 13 Addition – Step 3

Also see 1 group of 10 and 3 ones = 13 Addition – Step
