Full Lyrics
One plus one is two
Math is fun for me and you
Two plus one is three
Add the numbers carefully.
Two plus two is four
Let's find out a little more
Three plus two is five
Add the numbers, feel alive.
Add them up, count them through
Small math steps are what we do
Sing the numbers, say the sum
Learning math can still be fun.
About This Song
Addition Song is designed to make early math feel approachable. Instead of presenting addition as a worksheet skill first, the song introduces small number combinations through repetition and sound.
That matters for parents because many children feel more confident when they meet a new skill through music before they see it on paper. Singing gives them a low-pressure first step.
A simple addition song also supports number sense. Children begin to understand that adding means combining amounts, and they hear common examples often enough to remember them.
A Practical Way to Reinforce Math
This song works best when you match each line with real objects. Two apples and one apple, or one block and one block, can make the idea of addition much clearer.
Short songs like this are also useful before homework because they warm up the brain without making learning feel heavy. A one-minute singalong can reduce resistance and improve focus.
