What You'll Learn

  • Add numbers that include 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10
  • Use counting on strategy for larger numbers
  • Practice facts with sums up to 10

📖Counting On

For bigger numbers, start with the larger number and count on. For 7 + 2, start at 7 and count: 8, 9. The answer is 9!

💡

Always start counting from the bigger number - it takes fewer counts!

📖Using 5 as a Helper

The number 5 is a great helper! 6 is 5+1, 7 is 5+2, 8 is 5+3. This can help you figure out harder facts.

⚠️

Take your time with these bigger facts. They are harder than 0-5, but you will learn them with practice!
