Plus 2 means two more.

Jump two numbers forward.

Read it: Count on or count back

7 + 3: start at 7 and count on 3: 8, 9, 10. 10 − 3: start at 10 and count back 3: 9, 8, 7.

  1. Start at the bigger number.
  2. Count on 1, 2 or 3 to add. Count back to take away.
  3. The last number you say is the answer.

Starting at 7 saves you counting all the way up from 1 again.

Each hop is 1 more, so 3 hops from 7 land on 10.

To take away, start at the big number and count back instead.

Start at the big number. Count on to add, count back to take away.

Saying 7 as the first count, and landing on 9.

7 is where you start. The first hop says 8: 8, 9, 10.

3 + 2 = ___ — 5. Start at 3. Count on 2: 4, 5.

6 + 2

Today we're adding two to a number. Adding two just means counting up two more!

Let's try six plus two. We want to know what six and two more makes.

First, find six on our number line and put a dot there.

Now hop forward one. Six… seven.

Hop one more time. Seven… eight.

We landed on eight!
