Answer key — Addition & Subtraction to 10
- C — 5. Start at 2 and count up 3 more: 3, 4, 5. So 2 + 3 = 5.
- A — 6. Start at 5 and count up 1 more: 6. So 5 + 1 = 6.
- D — 8. Start at 4 and count up 4 more: 5, 6, 7, 8. So 4 + 4 = 8.
- B — 4. Start at 6 and count back 2: 5, 4. So 6 − 2 = 4.
- C — 6. Start at 9 and count back 3: 8, 7, 6. So 9 − 3 = 6.
- A — 2. Start at 7 and count back 5: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. So 7 − 5 = 2.
- D — 6. Start at 3 and count up 3 more: 4, 5, 6. So 3 + 3 = 6.
- B — 6. Start at 10 and count back 4: 9, 8, 7, 6. So 10 − 4 = 6.
- C — 9. Start at 8 and count up 1 more: 9. So 1 + 8 = 9.
- A — 2. Start at 8 and count back 6: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. So 8 − 6 = 2.
