Addition
Addition by Counting ForwardTo add 6 and 3, we start from 6 and count forward by 3 as:
We reach at 9. So, 6 + 3 = 9.EduRev Tips: It is easy to add if we start from the bigger number while doing addition by counting forward.Addition on a Number LineTo add 7 and 3, we start from 7 on the number line and move 3 steps (ones) forward.
Start from the bigger number 6 and count forward by 2 as:
So, 6 + 2 = 8.Properties of AdditionLet us look at the following situations to know the properties of addition.1. Adding two numbers by changing their order
While adding two numbers, the sum does not change, even if we change the order of the numbers.2. Adding 0 to a numberThere are 4 friends playing. No more friends joined them.
When we add 0 to a number, the sum is the number itself.
EduRev Tips: To add 1-digit number to 10, just replace the 0 with the number. It becomes the ones place of the ‘sum’.Addition: Counting Together by Making a Group of 10Let us add two single digit numbers say 8 and 5 by making tens. 8 X-mas stars and 5 X-mas stars together give 13 X-mas stars.
Here’s a fun way to do it:First, try to make a group of 10 stars because it’s easier to count.From the 5 stars, take 2 stars and add them to the 8 stars.Now, you have:8 stars + 2 stars = 10 stars (One group of 10!)You still have 3 stars left from the 5 stars.So, 10 stars + 3 stars = 13 stars.You have 13 Christmas stars in total.So, the sum of 8 and 5 is 13.EduRev Tips: Adding by making a group of 10 changes the question to “adding to 10”.Addition: Counting Together by Adding Ones FirstLet us add a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number say, 12 and 5.
So, the sum of 12 and 5 is 17.Addition: Counting Forward on a Number LineLook at the given number line. It shows the numbers from 0 to 20.
Let us add 11 and 6 using the number line. To find 11 + 6, start with the bigger number, 11. Now, take 6 steps (ones) forward as shown.
We reach at 17. So, 11 + 6 = 17.Adding Three Numbers
Ms Yashvi is hosting a holiday cookie party for kids. Ms Yashvi helps them in adding the number of cookies they want.
Step 1: Add any two numbers first. Get the answer.
Step 2: Now, count on to add the third number in the answer you got in step 1.
Thus, Ms Yashvi got the answer 9 cookies because 3 + 2 + 4 = 9.EduRev Tips: While adding three numbers, it makes no difference which two numbers are added first.
There are 15 + 3 = 18 students in the class now.SubtractionSubtraction by Crossing OutThere are 8 carrots in the basket. A rabbit takes away 3 carrots. How many carrots are left in the basket now?
To find how many carrots are left, we cross out 3 carrots and count the remaining uncrossed carrots.
There are 5 uncrossed carrots.So, 5 carrots are left in the basket.We can write it as:8 – 3 = 5 Or
EduRev Tips: When we write the smaller number below the bigger number for subtraction, it is called vertical subtraction.Subtraction by Counting BackwardTo subtract 4 from 7 by backward counting, we start with the bigger number 7 and count backward 4 ones as:
We reach at 3. So, 7 – 4 = 3.EduRev Tips: We count backward by ones to subtract. The number we stop at is the difference.Properties of SubtractionLet us look at the following situations to know the properties of subtraction.1. Subtracting 0 from a numberA monkey has 6 bananas. The monkey ate none. Now, 6 bananas are left with him.
When 0 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the same number.2. Subtracting 1 from a numberA monkey has 5 bananas. The monkey ate 1 banana. Now, 4 bananas are left with him.
When 1 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the number that is just before it.3. Subtracting a number from itselfA monkey has 4 bananas. The monkey ate all of them. No bananas are left with him now.
When a number is subtracted from itself the difference is 0.Subtraction Using Backward Counting on a Number LineTo subtract 4 from 10, we first start with the bigger number 10 then move 4 steps (ones) backward as shown.
We reach at 6. So, 10 – 4 = 6.[Question: 777896]Subtracting within 20Subtracting a 1-digit number from a 2-digit numberCase 1: When the ones digit is same in both the numbers.Yajur has 15 paperclips. He lost 5 of them. How many paperclips are left with him?To find how many paperclips are left, we subtract the ones digit first. 5 ones – 5 ones = 0 ones. (As subtracting the number from itself gives 0.)Write tens digit (1) as it is.
So, 15 – 5 = 10.Case 2: When the ones digit in a 2-digit number is greater than the 1-digit number.There were 16 ants in a line. 4 ants diverged from the line. How many ants are left in the line now?To find how many ants are left in the line, we subtract the ones digit first.6 ones – 4 ones = 2 ones. Write 2 below the ones column.Now, write 1 as it is in the tens place as shown.So, 16 – 4 = 12.
Thus, there are 12 ants left in the line now.Subtracting by Backward CountingTo subtract 5 from 17, we begin at 17 and count 5 ones backward.
We reach 12. So, 17 – 5 = 12.Subtraction: Backward Counting on a Number LineLook at the number line shown below. It shows the numbers from 0 to 20.
Let us subtract 6 from 14. We start with the bigger number 14 and jump back 6 steps (ones).
We reach at 8. So, 14 – 6 = 8.Subtraction Stories in Real-Life Situations
Sheetal has 19 pencils. She gave 5 pencils to her brother Parag.Parag: How many pencils are left with you now?Sheetal: 14Parag: How?Sheetal: I subtracted the pencils given to you from the total number of pencils I had as follows.
So, 19 – 5 = 14.You can also count backward to subtract. Start from 19 and count back 5 ones as 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14.Sheetal: This is how I am left with 14 pencils.Addition and Subtraction RelationshipFor example, in the picture below there are 4 pineapples in the first set and 2 pineapples in the second set, so we say there are 6 pineapples altogether and we can write 4 + 2 = 6.
If we start with 6 pineapples and take away 2, we are left with 4. We can write 6 − 2 = 4.
Problem-Solving: Simultaneous Addition and SubtractionLet us look at the following problem:Example: A farmer had 12 mangoes. He sold 4 mangoes. Then he picked 6 more mangoes from his tree. How many mangoes does he have now?Sol: Let’s solve this step-by-step.1. The farmer had 12 mangoes.
He sold 4 mangoes, so we subtract:12−4=8
Now he has 8 mangoes.He then picked 6 more mangoes, so we add:8+6=14
The farmer now has 14 mangoes.
