Addition and subtraction are the two most basic operations in counting. In simple terms, it is just like moving forward and backward on a numbers line.
The process of addition related to counting means the value is going forward on a number line.
The process of subtraction means the value is going back on a number line.
Teaching addition and subtraction related to counting is simply putting it on a number line and showing a student how to go forward or back on a number line.
This process can also be taught by counting up or down if the number is small enough.
For example, addition for 3+2= ___. Start with 3 and count up 2. I like to teach my students to 'pound' on 3 and then count up two.
