Mr. R.’s World of Math

Addition adds up to a sum,
Like 0 plus 1 = 1,
Since learning to add,
I haven’t been sad,
Addition is my kind of fun…

Adding, it brings no surprise,
You learn it and feel really wise,
And when it’s all done,
You call it a sum,
Makes numbers increase in their size…

2 plus a 1 makes a 3,
It’s easy to add as you see,
And when I have more,
Like a 6 plus a 4,
My mommy or daddy helps me!

Sometimes I count on my fingers,
Like some bees like using their stingers,
I think fingers are great
They’re really first rate!
And math pride’s a feeling that lingers…
