Addition by Forward Counting

Suppose we have to add 5 and 7: 5 + 7

We can add by starting from 5 and counting 7 steps forwards.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

We reach 12.

So 5 + 7 = 12

A. Add the following by counting forwards.

1. 3 + 6 =

2. 4 + 7 =

3. 7 + 4 =

4. 8 + 5 =

B. Now do it mentally.

5. 8 + 7 =

6. 8 + 8 =

7. 4 + 6 =

8. 7 + 8 =

9. 9 + 5 =

10. 9 + 9 =
