Problem Solving on Addition

Problem solving on addition will help us to get the idea on how to solve the basic addition statement problems.

1.  Three boys were playing cricket. Two more boys came along and played cricket with them. How many boys altogether were playing cricket?

Number of boys were playing cricket = 3

Number of boys came along and played cricket with them = 2

Therefore, total number of boys were playing cricket = 3 + 2 = 5

2.  Harry had 5 stamps. Mother gave him 4 more. How many stamps in all did Harry have?

Number of stamps Harry had = 5

Number of stamps his mother gave him = 4

Therefore, total number of stamps he have = 5 + 4 = 9

3. Rachael had 6 stamps. Father gave her 2 stamps. How many stamps does Rachael have now?

Number of stamps Rachael had = 6

Number of stamps her father gave her = 4

Therefore, total number of stamps she have now = 6 + 4 = 10

4. In a classroom, there were 2 brown tables, 1 red table and 3 green tables. How many tables were there altogether?

Number of brown tables = 2

Number of red table = 1

Number of green tables = 3

Therefore, total number of tables in a classroom = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6

5. Jack spent 5 dollars for a pen, 3 dollars for a color box, 2 dollars for a pencil box. How much did he spend altogether?

Amount of money Jack spent for a pen = $5

Amount of money he spent for a color box = $3

Amount of money he spent for a pencil box = $2

Therefore, total amount of money he spend altogether = $5 + $3 + $2 = 10

6. There were 6 yellow hats, 2 red hats and 6 blue hats. How many hats were there?

Number of yellow hats = 6

Number of red hats = 2

Number of blue hats = 6

Therefore, total number of hats were there = 6 + 2 + 6 = 14

7. Alex had 4 books on cars, 5 on airplanes and 7 on boats. How many books did he have in all?

Number of books on cars Alex had = 4

Number of books on airplanes = 5

Number of books on boats = 7

Therefore, total number of books he have in all = 4 + 5 + 7 = 16

More examples on statement problem solving on addition:

8. In a game Mary had the best score. She made 8 in her first turn, 6 in her second and 5 in her third. What was her total score?

Number of score Mary had in her first turn = 8

Number of score in her second turn = 5

Number of score in her third turn = 7

Therefore, total number of score Mary had in a game = 8 + 5 + 7 = 20

9. Sarah had 25 cards. She got 7 cards more. How many cards did she have then?

Number of cards Sarah had = 25

Number of cards she got more = 7

Therefore, total number of cards she have then = 25 + 7 = 32

10. A farmer had 45 sheep before he bought 25 more. How many sheep did he have then?

Number of sheep a farmer had = 45

Number of sheep he bought more = 25

Therefore, total number of sheep he have then = 45 + 25 = 70

Word Problems on Addition:

11. A basket had 28 mangoes in it. 14 more mangoes are kept in the basket. How many mangoes are there in the basket now?

The basket had                 2 8    mangoes

Mangoes kept in       (+)   1 4                      

Now, there are                 4 2 mangoes in all

Thus, there are 42 mangoes in the basket now.

12. Aaron scored 33 runs in the first cricket match and 29 runs in the second. How many runs did he score in all?

Aaron scored                  3 3  runs in the first match

He scored                (+)  2 9  runs in the second match

He scored                       6 2  runs in all                      

Thus, he scored 62 runs in all.

Addition Worksheets

Welcome to the addition worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where we will add to your learning experience in many positive ways! On this page, you will find Addition worksheets from addition facts and two-digit addition to column addition and addition with games. In the first section, we've included a few addition printables that should help out the beginning student. Teaching addition facts is best done with some interesting teaching strategies.

Some teachers and parents use addition manipulatives to help students understand the basic addition facts. For example, adding groups of "Apple Jacks" (a breakfast cereal) by counting will quickly lead students to understand the concepts of addition. The sooner you can introduce base ten blocks to your students, the better. If you haven't already used them for counting, use them for basic addition and show students how regrouping works.

Addition Facts Tables

Disputably not a great way to learn addition facts, but undeniably a great way to summarize, addition facts tables are an invaluable resource in any home or school classroom. Addition works very well as a table since the addends can be sequential. Encourage students to look for patterns and teach them a variety of strategies to learn the addition facts. For students who have not yet memorized their addition facts but need to know them for a more advanced math lesson such as adding two-digit numbers, provide an addition facts table to them, so they can quickly look up addition facts. After a while, they will most likely learn the facts through the use of the table and become less reliant on it. To make the tables more durable, print them on card stock and laminate them. They can be displayed on a screen or enlarged and printed on poster paper for whole class use.

Five Minute Addition Frenzies

Five minute frenzy charts are 10 by 10 grids for addition fact practice. In each square, students write the sum of the column number and the row number.

Called mad minutes or timed drills by some, five minute frenzies are meant to be timed to add a little more excitement to practicing addition facts. They are ideally used to increase a student's ability to recall addition facts quickly which has all sorts of benefits later in their school life including preventing high school teachers from complaining about "how their students can't even add single-digit numbers without using a calculator."

A general goal to achieve would be to complete one chart in less than five minutes and score 98 percent or better, however, we recommend setting personal goals for students based on an initial test. If they are banging their head against the wall after a couple of minutes with only a few questions done, they really shouldn't be completing a timed addition facts drill at the moment. They still have some learning to do. We would recommend breaking out the manipulatives at this point. If they blast through the questions in 1.5 minutes and get almost all of them correct, they are probably ready for something a little more challenging.

One-per-page addition frenzies are not the most efficient use of paper resources, but they are a good starting point especially for younger students who have not quite mastered their penmanship enough to fit their numbers into a smaller chart. They are also great for displaying on screens or monitors for group activities. For example, you might use an interactive white board to fill out the chart.

A wiser use of paper and photo-copy limits, having four charts on a page allows for multi-day practice, collaborative work or through the use of a paper-cutter, a quick stack of practice pages for students who finish early.

The make ten addition strategy involves "spliting" the second addend into two parts. The first part combines with the first addend to make ten and the second part is the leftover amount. The strategy helps students quickly add amounts over ten in their head. For example, adding 8 + 7, students first recognize that they need to add 2 to 8 to get 10, so they split the 7 into 2 + 5. The 8 + 2 makes 10 and 5 more makes 15. The skill can be extended to many situations, for example adding 24 + 9, students recognize that they need 6 more to get to 30 and 9 can be split into 6 + 3, so 24 + 6 = 30 and 3 more makes 33. Continuing on, students can work on recognizing "complements" of other important numbers (see section further down) to develop this strategy further.

Multi-Digit Addition

A variety of strategies can be used to learn multi-digit addition; it isn't necessary to rely only on paper and pencil methods. Base ten blocks can help students conceptualize addition. Teaching students a mental left-to-right addition skill will help them in future math studies and life in general. E.g. 34 + 78 would be 30 + 70 = 100, 100 + 4 = 104, 104 + 8 = 112. Don't forget about using estimation with these worksheets.

Horizontal addition can encourage students to use mental math or other strategies to add numbers. One of the most common mental math strategies for addition is a left-to-right (also called front end) addition strategy. This involves adding the greater place values first. Other strategies for adding multi-digit numbers include using base ten blocks or other manipulatives, number lines, decomposing numbers and adding the parts, and using a calculator.

Multi-Digit Addition with Grid Support

Adding with grid support helps students who have trouble lining up place values themselves. Perhaps with a little practice, they might get a better understanding of not only lining up the place values, but why this is done. Pointing out that the 5 in 659 means 50, for example, is useful in helping students understand place value as it relates to addition.

Various Other Addition Worksheets

Column addition is not just an exercise in accounting, it also develops mental addition skills that are useful in everyday life. Various strategies are available for adding columns of numbers. The traditional method is to use a pencil and paper approach, also known as right-to-left addition, where students add and regroup starting with the smallest place (ones in this case) and proceed up to the greatest place. A mental approach might involve students going from left-to-right where the greater place is added first. This is easier to keep track of in your head, but does require the occasional adjustment in previous answers. An example is to add 345 + 678 + 901. First add the 300, 600 and 900 to get 1800, then add 40, 70 and 0 in turn to get 1910, then deal with the 5, 8 and 1 to get 1924. Along the way you had to adjust your total, but keeping a running total in your head is a lot easier than transfering a pencil and paper method into your head.

• Column Addition with Single-Digit Numbers Adding Three Single-Digit Numbers Adding Four Single-Digit Numbers Adding Five Single-Digit Numbers Adding Six Single-Digit Numbers
• Column Addition with Two-Digit Numbers Adding Three Two-Digit Numbers Adding Four Two-Digit Numbers Adding Five Two-Digit Numbers Adding Six Two-Digit Numbers
• Column Addition with Three-Digit Numbers Adding Three Three-Digit Numbers Adding Four Three-Digit Numbers Adding Five Three-Digit Numbers Adding Six Three-Digit Numbers
• Column Addition with Four-Digit Numbers Adding Three Four-Digit Numbers Adding Four Four-Digit Numbers Adding Five Four-Digit Numbers Adding Six Four-Digit Numbers
• Column Addition with Various-Digit Numbers Adding Three Various-Digit Numbers Adding Four Various-Digit Numbers Adding Five Various-Digit Numbers Adding Six Various-Digit Numbers

Games help students develop mental addition skills but in a fun context. For the adding with playing cards worksheets, a Jack is counted as 11, a Queen as 12, a King as 13 and an Ace as 1. Playing math games while enjoying some social time with their friends is a great way to develop strategic thinking and math fluency in children.

Finding complements of numbers can help students a great deal in developing mental arithmetic skills and to further their understanding of number.

• Adding Complements of 9, 99 and 999 Adding Complements of 9 (Blanks in First or Second Position Mixed) Adding Complements of 9 (Blanks in First then Second Position) Adding Complements of 9 (Blanks in First Position Only) Adding Complements of 9 (Blanks in Second Position Only) Adding Complements of 9 (Blanks in Any Position, Including Sums) Adding Complements of 99 Adding Complements of 999
• Adding Complements of 10, 100 and 1000 Adding Complements of 10 Adding Complements of 100 Adding Complements of 1000
• Adding Complements of 11 Adding Complements of 11 (Blanks in First or Second Position Mixed) Adding Complements of 11 (Blanks in First then Second Position) Adding Complements of 11 (Blanks in First Position Only) Adding Complements of 11 (Blanks in Second Position Only) Adding Complements of 11 (Blanks in Any Position, Including Sums)

Using an adding doubles strategy can help students to process addition questions more quickly using mental math. To use this strategy, students must recognize that the two numbers are close to the same value (usually by one or two). They also must recognize by how much and whether it is greater or less than the first addend. A typical dialogue with the question, 15 + 16, might be, "I see that the second number is greater than the first number by 1. If I double the first number and add 1, I will get my answer. 15 doubled is 30 plus one is 31. 15 + 16, therefore, is 31."

• Adding Doubles Up to 9 Adding Doubles (Up to 9) Adding Doubles Plus One (Up to 9) Adding Doubles Plus Two (Up to 9) Adding Doubles Minus One (Up to 9) Adding Doubles Minus Two (Up to 9) Adding Doubles Mixed Variations (Up to 9)

Not commonly taught in modern schools, adding in other base number systems can stretch students' minds and have quite a few important applications, especially in technology. For example, you will find binary, octal and hexadecimal systems are quite often used in computer technology. Quaternary numbers can be used in genetics to store DNA sequences. The duodecimal system is sometimes suggested as a superior system to the decimal system

Addition is ...

... bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.

Example: When we add 2 and 3 we get 5 .

We can write it like this:

Write this down, with the answer, using numerals :

You should get:   4 + 3 = 7  

Have a Play

Drag the numerals to the two blue boxes see how addition works:

Swapping Places

Swapping the position of the numbers we are adding still gets the same result!

More Examples:

5 + 1 = 1 + 5 = 6

7 + 11 = 11 + 7 = 18

4 + 100 = 100 + 4 = 104

You get better at addition with practice, so we have:

Addition Table

We can also "look up" answers for simple addition using the Addition Table (but it is really best to learn to remember the answers).

Example: Find 3 + 5

• find the row starting with "3"

• move along to be under the column "5"

• and there is the number "8", so 3 + 5 = 8

Larger Numbers: Use Addition in Columns

Other names for Addition are Sum, Plus, Increase, Total

And the numbers to be added together are called the " Addends ":

Addition word problems

 Addition word problems arise in any situations where there is a gain or an increase of something as a result of combining one or more numbers. Think of addition as combining parts to form a whole.

Consider the following situations. Problem #1: John has 800 dollars in his checking account. He received from his job a check for 1,200 dollars and deposit the amount in his checking account. How much money does he have in his checking after the deposit? Solution The fact of receiving money from his job is a gain. Therefore, we need to perform addition.

Total amount in checking account = 800 + 1200 = 2000 dollars Problem #2: Peter sells ice cream for a living. On Monday his revenue was 150 dollars. On Tuesday, his revenue was 100 dollars. Finally, on Wednesday, his revenue was 50 dollars. How much is Peter's revenue so far? Solution Peter is experiencing a gain in revenue. Therefore, we use addition.

Peter's revenue = 150 + 50 + 100 = 300 dollars Problem #3: Eiffel Tower is about 1063 feet high. The Statue of Liberty along with its foundation and pedestal is about 305 feet. If you could put the Statue of Liberty on top of the Eiffel Tower, how high up in heaven will the two monuments reach? Solution The situation above is a combination of parts to form a whole. Therefore, we use addition.

Problem #4:

Ana found a 15 dollar bill on the floor on Saturday.

Then on Sunday her parents gave her 155 dollars. How much does Ana have all together?

CLUE: Saturday~15 dollars Sunday~155 dollars

Solution: 15+155 = 170 dollars all together

Solving word problems both rely the development of reading and language skills. Addition means “putting together” groups of objects and finding how many they are in total while subtraction tells “how many are left” or “how many more or less”.

Steps in Problem Solving:

• Identify the Problem. Understand what is asked.
• Encircle important numbers.
• Underline the keywords. Analyze if it is for addition or subtraction .
• Solve the problem.
• Present the answer.

Addition: in all, sum, total, more than, plus, altogether, increased by add

Subtraction: fewer, left, less than, take away, minus, difference, remain, decreased

There are 6 surfboards and the surfer bought another 8 pieces. How many surfboards are there in all?

There were 8 beach balls but 5 of them were damaged. How many beach balls were left?

8 – 5 = 3
