Addition Exercises


Start by getting familiar with the combinations of numbers that add up to 10

1
+
9
=
10
2
+
8
=
10
3
+
7
=
10
4
+
6
=
10
5
+
5
=
10


Remember these and don’t forget they are the same the other way around ;

6 + 4  and  7 + 3  still (equal) =  10


When you feel you know these equations, see if you can work out what other single digit numbers that add up to.

Example

4
+
5
=
9
7
+
5
=
12
8
+
5
=
13

When you know what numbers add up to 10 you can work larger equations out like this,


8 + 5 = ?
(8 + 2 = 10) from here 5 - 2 = 3

Then ,
10 + 3 = 13


Carrying the Tens


When you add larger numbers you often have to work out the answer in calculation form, called a mathematical algorithm.
