Addition Within 20: Count-On Cover-Up
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: counting on from the larger addend
Start at 9. Hold up 3 fingers and say 10, 11, 12. Write 9 + 3 = ___.
Cover 11. Count on 4 more. What total do you say?
For 6 + 8, which number should you keep in your head? Count on from it.
Write the four counts after 12 when solving 12 + 4.
Solve 7 + 5 by counting on from 7, then solve it by counting on from 5. Which takes fewer counts?
Make a count-on problem with a small addend of 2 or 3 for an adult.
Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.
