  • What is 10 + 9?
  • What is 20 − 8?
  • Which sign is used for addition?
  • Which sign is used for subtraction?
  • What do we do first—count forward or backward?

Written

  1. 14 + 5 = ____
  2. 18 − 9 = ____
  3. 12 + 8 = ____
  4. 20 − 4 = ____
  5. Solve: There are 13 pencils. Your friend gives you 6 more. How many pencils do you have?

Common Mistakes

Students may:

  • Count the same object twice.
  • Forget whether to count forward or backward.
  • Confuse the + and symbols.
  • Make errors while crossing 10 (e.g., 9 + 6).

Teachers should encourage the use of counters, fingers, and number lines to build confidence.

Homework

  1. Solve:
    • 11 + 7 =
    • 13 + 6 =
    • 20 − 5 =
    • 18 − 9 =
  2. Draw 15 stars, then add 3 more and write the total.
  3. Draw 20 apples, cross out 8, and write how many are left.
  4. Write five addition and five subtraction sums up to 20 using numbers from your surroundings (e.g., fruits, toys, pencils).

Revision Notes

Addition (जोड़)

  • Join two groups together.
  • Use the + sign.
  • Count forward on the number line.
  • The answer is called the sum.

Subtraction (घटाव)

  • Take away from a group.
  • Use the sign.
  • Count backward on the number line.
  • The answer shows what is left.
