In the activity, the pre-k and kindergarten students focus on adding numbers 5–9 with the abacus.

This activity helps with number sense and solidifies the number relationships. Students will be able to visualize adding numbers; they will also see items becoming more. This also introduces students to decomposing numbers. This resource also has fun activities, like a game of who wins, color by number, puzzles, and a maze

In this activity, we are adding numbers 5–9. This is contained in one column of the abacus and all the bottom beads. Abacus is easy to understand; it promotes tactile learning.

The abacus used has 1 bead on top and 4 beads on the bottom. This activity focuses on the top bead (has a value of 5) and the bottom beads (has a value of 1 for each bead).

All the bottom beads have a value of 1, and the top bead has a value of 5.
