Introduction
Ask your child if he can think of a time when he has used addition to help him measure an amount, not including schoolwork. Give him examples of times when you use addition, such as at the grocery store, when cooking, or when planning an event. Explain to him that knowing how to add helps in making decisions.
Tell your child that he is going to a pretend fair. Ask if he has ever been to a fair. If so, ask him what kind of things he saw and did there. If he has never been to a fair, tell him about fairs and what people do there.
