Complete the addition sentence – up to two digits

🧠 What Is an Addition Sentence?

An addition sentence shows two numbers being added to make a total.
➕ Example: 12 + 5 = ⬜


🔢 Add Two-Digit and One-Digit Numbers

You can add by:

  • 👉 Counting on
  • 👉 Using fingers
  • 👉 Using number line
  • 👉 Adding tens and ones

Example:
24 + 3 = 27


🎯 Tens and Ones Help!

Break the number:

  • 24 = 2 tens and 4 ones
    Then add:
    4 ones + 3 ones = 7 ones
    So, 24 + 3 = 27 ✔️

📏 Use the Number Line Method

Jump forward:
Start at 15, make 4 jumps19
So, 15 + 4 = 19 😊


🟩 Filling the Missing Number

Sometimes the missing number is:

  • ➕ A number being added
  • 🟰 The answer (sum)

Examples:

  • 13 + ⬜ = 18 → Missing number is 5
  • ⬜ + 6 = 15 → Missing number is 9

🌈 Use Backward Thinking (Subtraction Trick!)

To find the missing number:
If 13 + ⬜ = 20,
Do: 20 – 13 = 7

So, the missing number is 7! 🎉


Check Your Answer

After filling the blank, add again to check:
11 + 8 = 19
✔️ Correct!
