About Addition (within 10)
Addition is the mathematical operation of combining quantities or putting groups together. It forms the foundation for all arithmetic and is essential for everyday problem-solving involving 'how many altogether' or 'what is the total' situations.
Addition is one of the four fundamental operations in mathematics. It's essential for everyday tasks like shopping, measuring, telling time, and handling money. Strong addition skills support learning multi-digit computation, fractions, algebra, and problem-solving across all math domains.
Addition (within 20)
Add within 20 using count-on, make-10, doubles/near-doubles, and relate addition to subtraction.
This hard level worksheet:
Add two-digit numbers within 20 with flexible strategy choice; explain and check using subtraction or a different strategy.
Key Concepts
- Count on/ make-10 to add
- Use doubles/near-doubles
- Relate addition and subtraction
Prerequisite skills
Fluent within 10; read/write numbers to 120.
Teaching Strategies
Model on ten-frames and number lines; spotlight make-10 pairs; have students justify which strategy is efficient.
Assessment ideas
Give timed fact fluency checks appropriate to grade. Include word problems to assess application. Ask students to explain their thinking or show work in multiple ways. Have students estimate before calculating and compare. Use error analysis: show incorrect work and ask students to find and fix mistakes.
Common Challenges
Counting all instead of on; losing track crossing 10; misusing doubles facts.
Real-World Applications
Adding small totals in games, scores, and coins (nickels/dimes).
Extension Activities
Solve two-step add problems to 20; compare two strategies and explain your choice.
Parent Tips
Practice make-10 card games and quick doubles; ask your child to explain how they got the sum.
