Representation of Addition and Subtraction
Key Concepts
- Addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers as an equation.
- Solve problems related to addition and subtraction using equations with unknowns in any position.
Addition of 2-digit numbers using equation
Every problem is converted in the form of an equation and the unknown value in the equation is represented as “?”.
Example:
13 + ? = 54
? + 32 = 75
21 + 33 = ?
Let’s solve a problem with an equation
- James saw 17 ducks swimming in a lake. Later, he saw that there were total of 39 ducks in a lake. How many ducks have joined after some time?
Answer:
Solution by adding:
- Solve the equation: 15 + ? = 57
Answer:
Subtraction of 2-digit numbers using equation
Every problem is converted in the form of an equation and the unknown value in the equation is represented as “?”.
Example:
63 – ? = 41
? – 37 = 54
87 – 42 = ?
