Question 2

If $5+10=15$5+10=15, what is the answer to $5+12$5+12?

 

Remember!
  • Number lines can help us visualize the jumps between numbers
  • Bridging to $10$10 can help us get to $10$10, so that adding can be much quicker
  • Compensation uses the answer of one problem, to find the answer to another problem
