Addition and subtraction within 20

When calculating within 20, it helps to split a number into ten and ones. Count forward to add and backward to subtract, first reaching the nearest ten when useful.

Word problems

Words such as “more”, “altogether” and “in total” usually suggest addition, while “got off”, “gave away” and “left” suggest subtraction. Find a missing addend by subtracting the known addend from the sum. Check with the inverse operation and ensure the result answers the question.
