Let’s solve each addition problem by counting the shapes in each group.
---
First Problem (Red Diamonds):
- Left group: Count the red diamonds → 4
- Middle group: Count the red diamond → 1
- Right group: This is the total — we’ll check it after adding.
So, 4 + 1 = ?
Count them together: 4 and 1 more makes 5.
Check right group: There are 5 red diamonds.
✔
Answer for first row:
4 + 1 = 5
---
Second Problem (Purple Squares):
- Left group: 2 purple squares
- Middle group: 4 purple squares
- Add them: 2 + 4 = ?
Count: 2 plus 4 more is 6.
Check right group: There are 6 purple squares.
✔
Answer for second row:
2 + 4 = 6
---
Third Problem (Green Circles):
- Left group: 3 green circles
- Middle group: 4 green circles
- Add them: 3 + 4 = ?
Count: 3 plus 4 more is 7.
Check right group: There are 7 green circles.
✔
Answer for third row:
3 + 4 = 7
---
Final Answer:
4 + 1 = 5
2 + 4 = 6
3 + 4 = 7
