Adding natural numbers in memory
Dodawanie pamięciowe liczb naturalnych
Learning objectives
You will learn the properties of addition and you will learn different methods of addition of two‑digit natural numbers in memory.
Learning effect
You add two‑digit natural numbers in memory.
Introduction:
Think about how to add natural numbers. Try to recall what the numbers that we add and the resultresult of adding are called.

Put a number in place of x, so that the equation written is true. Write down the observed property.
a) 4 + x = 4,
b) x + 5 = 5,
c) 0 + 6 = x,
d) 8 + 0 = x.
Conclusion:
- If one of the addends is equal to zero, then the sumsum equals the other addendaddend.
Conclusion:
- In addition you can easily change the order of addends and the sumsum or totaltotal is not subject to any change.
This property is called commutative additioncommutative addition.

Conclusion:
- By adding several numbers, you can combine two addends freely, and the sumsum will not change, e.g. (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).
This addition feature is called associative property.
Conclusion:
- By adding a few numbers, you can add the addends and the totaltotal will not change,
e.g. (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).
This addition feature is called Associative property.
Analyze the addition methods given in the drawings.
Method 1.

Method 2.

Method 3.

Calculate each of the given sums using different methods.
a) 34 + 43,
b) 46 + 56,
c) 68 + 36,
d) 79 + 56,
e) 57 + 38.
Calculate the sums using the acquired skills.
a) 25 + 46 + 65 + 84,
b) 31 + 75 + 39 + 15,
c) 37 + 52 + 13 + 18.
Solve the word problem. Write down the resultresult in your notebook.

Task for volunteers:
Calculate by any method.
a) 120 + 356,
b) 254 + 657.
Do the revision exercises.
Remember:
- Adding numbers and the resultresult of adding is called sumsum, and the numbers that we add are called addends.
- If one of the addends is equal to zero, then the sumsum equals the other addendaddend.
- In addition, you can change the order of addends, and the sumsum will not change, e.g. 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. We say that adding has a commutative property .
- By adding a few numbers, you can combine the addends as you like, and the sumsum will not change, e.g. (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4). We say adding has associative property.
