Addition with Post Office — Kindergarten

This sheet asks the child to add on some rows and to find a part on others, all with the same friendly post. Adding means counting a group of letters, stamps and a parcel and a written number into one total; finding a part means looking at a total with one piece shown and working out what completes it, just like making ten. Going back and forth keeps the focus on what the numbers mean rather than on a single repeated step.

Long before number facts are memorised, kindergartners lean on strategies they can see — counting on to join two amounts, and finding how many more make a total. Practising both with the same post builds those strategies side by side, so a child meets the make-ten move and simple adding as two tools for the same small numbers rather than as separate, disconnected drills.

Children who like post office enjoy the change of pace from row to row, and it works well for a small group ready to think in more than one direction. When the numbers feel easy, count a fresh group in addition with reptiles and amphibians, or try addition with tools.
