Bridging through 20: addition

When we add a two-digit number and a one-digit number, it can be

helpful to use this method (it will help you do similar sums in your head).

16 + 7

+4

= 16

+3

20

23

Now try these sums using the same method:

15 + 8 = 15
17 + 7 = 17
16 + 5 = 16
17 + 6 =
18 + 9 =
15 + 6 =

Draw your own number lines on a separate piece of paper to help you:

15 + 7 =

19 + 5 =

17 + 8 =

19 + 6 =

19 + 5 =

16 + 8 =

16 + 6 =

18 + 7 =
