Combining groups is all about putting two sets of objects together to find the total amount. Think of it like having a pile of apples and another pile of oranges. When you combine them, you get one big pile of fruit! This helps us understand addition and makes solving problems easier. We will be practicing how to count groups and write the equation to show how we combined them to find the total.
For example, if you have 3 crayons and your friend gives you 2 more, you can combine those groups to find out you have 5 crayons in total! Let's practice!
