Strategy 1
Count On for +1, +2, +3
Start at the bigger number and count forward!
Model: 8 + 3 = ?
8
→
9 (+1)
→
10 (+2)
→
11 (+3)
Answer: 11
Count on 2:
9 + 2 =
Count on 3:
12 + 3 =
Count on 2:
15 + 2 =
Count on 3:
7 + 3 =
Strategy 2
Make a Ten (Bridge Through 10)
Fill one frame to 10 first!
Model: 8 + 5 8 needs 2 more to make 10. Take 2 from 5: (8 + 2) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13
Problem A:
9 + 5 = 10 +
So, 9 + 5 =
Problem B:
8 + 6 = 10 +
So, 8 + 6 =
Problem C:
7 + 5 = 10 +
So, 7 + 5 =
Strategy 3
Doubles & Doubles Plus One (+1)
Use what you know to find the next!
6 + 6 = 12 Double
Now add 1 more:
6 + 7 =
7 + 7 = 14 Double
Now add 1 more:
7 + 8 =
8 + 8 = 16 Double
Now add 1 more:
8 + 9 =
Quick Tip: Turn addition around! \(3 + 14\) is easiest when you start at 14 and count on 3.

Part C: Missing Numbers
Fill in the blank
7 + = 15 Think: 15 - 7
+ 6 = 12 Think: Double
19 - = 16 Think: Count back

Strategy 1
Count On for +1, +2, +3
Answers in bold rose
9 + 2:
9 + 2 =
11
Count: 10, 11
12 + 3:
12 + 3 =
15
Count: 13, 14, 15
15 + 2:
15 + 2 =
17
Count: 16, 17
7 + 3:
7 + 3 =
10
Count: 8, 9, 10
Teaching Note: Watch out for students who include the starting number in their count (e.g., counting "9, 10" for 9+2). Remind them: the first number is locked in our brain!
Strategy 2
Make a Ten (Bridge Through 10)
Decomposition Solutions
Problem A:
9 + 5 = 10 + 4
So, 9 + 5 =
14
9 needs 1 from 5; leaves 4
Problem B:
8 + 6 = 10 + 4
So, 8 + 6 =
14
8 needs 2 from 6; leaves 4
Problem C:
7 + 5 = 10 + 2
So, 7 + 5 =
12
7 needs 3 from 5; leaves 2
Teaching Note: Encourage children to identify "friends of 10" (9+1, 8+2, 7+3) as their anchor to decompose the second addend fluently.
Strategy 3
Doubles & Doubles Plus One (+1)
Known Anchor Facts
6 + 6 = 12 Anchor Double
Add 1 to 12:
6 + 7 =
13
7 + 7 = 14 Anchor Double
Add 1 to 14:
7 + 8 =
15
8 + 8 = 16 Anchor Double
Add 1 to 16:
8 + 9 =
17
Teaching Note: Students can also use doubles minus one: for \(7 + 8\), they could also think \(8 + 8 = 16\) minus \(1 = 15\). Both methods show strong number sense!
