Adding and Subtracting Within 20 Worksheets
Tips for Adding and Subtracting Within 20 - Addition and subtraction are something you will see yourself doing every now then, be it counting your pocket money, or counting students in your class. 'Putting together' of two things or objects, and counting how many in all are known as Addition, while subtraction tells you 'how many are left' or 'how many are less in all'. Learning to solve quick addition and subtraction sums or doing mental mathematics will save you time and make you the star of the class. To be the star of the class, learn addition and subtraction within 20 by following these steps: 1) Memorize the numbers - Start with 1 and count till 10. Say out loud and learn it by heart. Do this regularly to get a grasp on numbers from 1 to 20. 2) Use small objects to add or subtract - Use objects to add or subtract numbers from 1 to 20. Lay them on a table and start playing. Objects like Legos, popsicle sticks, and wooden blocks are helpful to add and subtract quickly. 3) Use flashcards with numbers - Use UNO cards with numbers written on them or make your own flashcards. To learn addition, add more cards to the existing one and find the answer, to subtract, select a number and take away cards, and you have the answer. These worksheets focus on really small forms of addition and subtraction. They will really help students at this level.

Example of This Skill:
Problem- Make the number 8 by: A) adding 3 numbers B) subtracting 2 numbers C) adding 2 numbers.
The first thing we need to realize is that there are many ways to answer these problems. Which tells us to know that there are many possible solutions. When you are asked a problem that involves addition, you just need to realize that the numbers need to be much smaller than the numbers that the sum needs to be. When you are asked to subtract numbers, you just need to understand that the values must start out much higher that the end value.
Solutions: Our final answer for all of these problems must be 8.
a) We are asked to add 3 values together, so the setup really is: __ + __ +__ = 8.
We can choose any value that is at least 2 less than 8. I will choose 3. Now the setup looks like: 3 + __ +__ = 8.
We still need to get to 8. How about we choose the value 1. Now the setup looks like: 3 + 1 +__ = 8.
We just need to determine the value that would make that math sentence true. 3 + 1 + 4 = 8.
b) We are asked to subtract 2 values to result in a final difference of 8. This would look like this __ - __ -__ = 8.
We would need to start with a value much larger than 8, I will choose 18. This would look like this 18 - __ -__ = 8.
We choose a value to subtract from 18, but it cannot result in difference equal to or less than 8. I will choose 6. This would look like this 18 - 6 -__ = 8.
The first difference leaves us with a value of 12. To get the final difference to equal 8, we must subtract 4 from it. In the end we are left with the equation: 18 - 6 - 4 = 8.
c) We are asked to add 2 values together, so the setup really is: __ +__ = 8.
We can choose any value that is less than 8. In fact, we could even choose 8, if we want to. I will choose the number 6. This would leave us with 6 +__ = 8. We then just have to determine what value, when added to 6, equals 8. That value is 2. 6 + 2 = 8.
