                KinderMath: Adding 0 and 1
In today's lesson, the kids will work on the concept of adding on 0 and 1. This will be done by using a 'life-size' number path (1-10) on our classroom floor. Each child will have a turn to show what happens when we add 1 more by hopping to that number. For instance, if they are standing on 3 and I say, "Add 1",  they would hop to 4. Next, the kids will take turns to show what happens when I say, "Add 0".  Again, the idea within this entire unit is laying the foundation for using +, -, = symbols.
