Adding 8

key notes :

Understanding Addition:

• Definition: Addition means putting two or more numbers together to get a new total.
• Example: Adding 8 to a number means you start with 8 and then add more to it.

Visual Aids:

• Use Objects: Use physical objects like blocks or counters to demonstrate adding 8. For example, start with 8 blocks and add more blocks one by one to show how the total increases.
• Number Line: Use a number line to show how moving 8 steps forward from a starting number results in a new number.

Simple Addition Facts:

• Examples:
  • 1 + 8 = 9
  • 2 + 8 = 10
  • 3 + 8 = 11
• Practice: Use flashcards or worksheets with simple problems to practice adding 8 to different numbers.

Patterns:

• Recognize Patterns: Show how adding 8 always increases the number by 8. For example, starting from 5, adding 8 results in 13 (5 + 8 = 13).

Using Number Sentences:

• Write Number Sentences: Show how to write addition sentences, like 7 + 8 = 15, and how to solve them.
