So 4 and 6 are friends.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 2: The Add 9 Trick<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding 9 is awkward. But 9 is just one less than 10, so add 10 first and then take 1 away.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 9 + 6<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 + 10 = 16<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 \u2212 1 = <\/span><b>15<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Another:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 9 + 4. First 4 + 10 = 14, then 14 \u2212 1 = <\/span><b>13<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 3: Doubles<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A double is a number added to itself. Kids usually pick these up fast, especially with a rhyme.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 + 3 = 6<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 + 5 = 10<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 + 7 = 14<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9 + 9 = 18<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Try this:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Point out pairs in daily life, like two eyes, two shoes or two hands. Ask, &#8220;If there are two of the same group, how many altogether?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 4: Near Doubles<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once doubles feel easy, near doubles come almost free. When two numbers are neighbours, double the smaller one and add 1.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 + 7<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double of 6 is 12<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add 1 more to get <\/span><b>13<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Another:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8 + 9. Double 8 is 16, plus 1 makes <\/span><b>17<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 5: Adding and Subtracting 10<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you add 10, only the tens digit goes up by one, and the ones digit stays put. When you subtract 10, the tens digit goes down by one.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23 + 10 = <\/span><b>33<\/b><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45 + 10 = <\/span><b>55<\/b><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78 \u2212 10 = <\/span><b>68<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Try this:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use a hundred charts. Moving one row down adds 10, and one row up takes 10 away. Kids spot the pattern quickly.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 6: Bridge Through 10<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a sum goes past 10, first make 10, then add whatever is left over.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8 + 5<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 needs 2 to reach 10<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split 5 into 2 and 3<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 + 2 = 10, then 10 + 3 = <\/span><b>13<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Another:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7 + 6. Split 6 into 3 and 3, so 7 + 3 = 10, and 10 + 3 = <\/span><b>13<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one uses friends of 10, so make sure Trick 1 feels comfortable first.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Trick 7: Skip Counting by 2, 5 and 10<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Counting in jumps shows children that numbers follow patterns. It also quietly prepares them for tables.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Try this:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Clap on every second number, or hop along a number line drawn on the floor.
