Addition and Subtraction
Song
Chorus:
Move your arms, your legs,
Your hips and your hands
Or any other part of your body you can
Wiggle them, shake them, take a chance
Do the Add and Subtract Body Part Dance
Add 1 + 1 = 2. Move two parts of your body...
...Subtract 4 - 3 = 1. Move 1 part of your body...
Chorus
Add 1 + 3 = 4. Move four parts of your body...
...Subtract 6 - 3 = 3. Move 3 parts of your body....
Chorus

Fact Families
It’s a family of numbers
That adds and subtracts,
So we call it a family,
A family of facts.
It’s not like a family of people,
That’s not how it acts,
It’s a family of numbers,
A family of facts.
Take 6 + 8, ___ is the sum.
Think 8 + 6, and the answer will
come.
14 – 6, that’s ___, if you please,
14 – 8? You can do that with ease.
