Adding with Digits Up to 20

Build strong number sense by learning to add numbers up to 20 using counting on, making ten, and place value strategies.


What You'll Learn

Identify addition problems where the sum lands between 0 and 20
Apply the counting on strategy to add a small number to a larger one
Use the making ten trick, such as \( 8 + 7 = 8 + 2 + 5 = 15 \), to add faster
Break numbers apart by place value, since \( 12 = 10 + 2 \), to simplify sums
Check answers by re-grouping or recounting to confirm the total is correct
Solve real-world word problems that require adding two numbers up to 20

What You'll Practice

1

Adding doubles like 7+7, 8+8, and 9+9

2

Solving addition problems with sums between 10 and 20

3

Using doubles facts to find near doubles (e.g., 7+8)

Why This Matters

Mastering addition up to 20 builds the foundation for all future math. These strategies help you calculate quickly in your head, which you'll use every day for money, time, measurements, and solving more complex problems in higher grades.
