Chapter Overview
The order of addends can change, but their total stays the same.
Add Our Points uses games and scores to practise addition. Children combine several scores, use number facts, and arrange addends in helpful ways while understanding that points accumulate into a total.
Adding Scores
- Record each round's score before finding the total.
- Count on from the larger score for efficient addition.
- Use place value when adding two-digit scores.
Smart Addition
- Make ten when possible, such as 8 + 2.
- Group friendly numbers: 7 + 3 + 5 becomes 10 + 5.
- Estimate the total to check whether an answer is sensible.
