Recall addition facts to 20

Addition facts to 20 are understood as exact relationships among nonnegative whole-number quantities whose sums range from 0 through 20. Fluency includes recognizing commutative pairs, doubles, make-ten combinations, and decompositions such as 8+5=8+2+38+5=8+2+3, enabling facts to be recalled or derived from known facts rather than counted by ones; this supports efficient mental subtraction and later place-value computation, without extending to larger multi-digit sums.

Detailed Explanation: Recall addition facts to 20

Addition facts to 20 can be recalled by using facts you already know. One helpful strategy is to make 10.

Example: Find 8+58+5.

  1. Start with 88. It needs 22 more to make 1010.
  2. Split 55 into 2+32+3.
  3. Add the 22 to 8,thenaddtheremaining8, then add the remaining 3$:
8+5=8+2+38+5=8+2+3
  1. Make 10 first:
8+2+3=10+3=138+2+3=10+3=13

So,

8+5=13.8+5=13.

You can also remember the commutative pair:

5+8=13.5+8=13.
