How to use the Counting On Strategy to find Missing Addend?

Counting-on can also be applied to find a missing addend in an addition problem.

1. Understand the Concept:
   Explain to students that counting-on can be used to find a missing addend by starting with one of the numbers and counting forward to the sum.
2. Identify the Known Addend and Sum:
   Given an addition problem with a missing addend, identify the known addend and the sum. For example, in
   6 + __ = 9, 6 is the known addend, and 9 is the sum.
3. Start with the Known Addend:
   Start counting on from the known addend. In the example, start with 6.
4. Count On to the Sum:
   Continue counting forward until you reach the sum. In the example, count on from 6: 7, 8, 9. So, the missing addend is 3.

Using counting on to find a missing addend is a practical application of this mental math strategy. It reinforces number sense and helps students develop a deeper understanding of addition concepts. Regular practice with such problems will strengthen their ability to use counting on efficiently.
