Recall addition facts to 20

Addition facts to 20 are the sums of pairs of whole numbers, including zero, whose total is no greater than 20; fluency reflects understanding of relationships such as commutativity, doubles, near-doubles, and decompositions that make ten, rather than treating each fact as unrelated. These facts support efficient mental calculation and subtraction reasoning; this scope does not include multi-digit addition, extended fact families, or generalized algebraic treatment.

Detailed Explanation: Recall addition facts to 20

Addition facts to 20 are sums you can solve quickly in your head. Use relationships you know, such as making a ten.

Example: Find (8+7)(8+7).

  1. Start with 88.
  2. Break 77 into (2+5)(2+5), because (8+2=10)(8+2=10).
  3. Add to make ten:
8+7=8+2+5 8+7=8+2+5
  1. Finish adding:
10+5=15 10+5=15

So,

8+7=15\boxed{8+7=15}

You can also remember that switching the addends does not change the sum: (7+8=15)(7+8=15).
