Start at three

Let's add three plus two. This line shows numbers in order. Start on three.

Take one step

Take one step to the right. We land on four. That is one more than three.

Take one more step

Take one more step. We land on five. We took two steps from three. Three plus two is five.

Your turn

Now try five plus two. Start on five. Pause here and count two steps to the right.

We land on seven

One step lands on six. The next step lands on seven. Five plus two is seven. Count the steps, not the starting number.
