How to Add and Subtract One-Digit Numbers

Let's say I wanted to add $5+1$. When you add one to any number, you get the next number. So here is the counting: $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$, and our answer is next, $6$. So, $5+1=6$

Another way to do this would be to count on my fingers. I have $5$ fingers on each hand. I hold out one hand, and put $1$ finger up on the other. Then, I count all the fingers, giving me: $5+1=6$.

To solve $7-3$, hold up $7$ fingers. Then, close $3$, giving you $7-3=4$
