MERLIN & ENZO’S PICNIC · ADDITION WITHIN 10
Two groups. One picnic.
Bring the apples together. How many do the twins have altogether?
Grown-up controls · choose the two groups

Look at the two groups.
Merlin’s group
Enzo’s group
Our picnic · all the apples together
No apples in either group. There are none altogether.
How many apples altogether?
Two groups are ready. Count them, then bring them together.
The twins can share their picnic!
For grown-ups
This pilot models addition by combining two separate groups. The same apples move into one collection: none are added, removed or counted twice. The optional counting button highlights one apple per press; it never runs ahead of the child. The answer choices stay available without a countdown.
Adult-review prototype · checks still needed
- Teacher: check the concrete groups, zero examples, number sentence, distractors and feedback.
- Check children understand combining groups, rather than simply guessing a numeral.
- Review full audio, phone layout, keyboard/screen-reader use and contrast with learners.
- Character likeness and curriculum placement remain under review.
