Adding with 8 Practice Build fluency with adding 8 to any number and master compensation strategies.
Student Tips:
- Think of 8 as 10 – 2, so add 10 first, then subtract 2 (5 + 8 = 5 + 10 – 2 = 13).
- Use doubles: 8 + 8 = 16, so 8 + 9 = 17 (one more than the double).
- Break apart 8 into 5 + 3 to use friendly numbers (7 + 8 = 7 + 5 + 3 = 15).
Teaching Instruction: Emphasize the “add 10, subtract 2” compensation strategy as most efficient for larger numbers. Use ten frames to show 8 as 10 – 2. Practice doubles and near-doubles patterns. Connect to octagon shapes and groups of 8 in real life. Help students choose between different strategies based on the other addend.
