Complete the addition sentence – up to two digits
key points :
🧠 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 jumps → 19
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!
🥳 Practice Makes You Faster

Try to use mental math more often.
Learn with an example
Fill in the missing number.
____+ 7 = 24
Decide which number makes the addition number sentence true. You can subtract to find the answer.
Subtract:
24 – 7 = 17
The missing number is 17.
Fill in the missing number.
____ + 8 = 30
Decide which number makes the addition number sentence true. You can subtract to find the answer.
Subtract:
30 – 8 = 22
The missing number is 22.
Fill in the missing number.
____+ 12 = 50
Decide which number makes the addition number sentence true. You can subtract to find the answer.
Subtract:
50 – 12 = 38
The missing number is 38.
