You learn to split a number into two parts.
How to work it out
- The whole at the top is split into the two parts below.
- Do you know one part? Take it away from the whole to find the other part.
Split 13 into two parts.
There are many ways: 10 + 3, or 9 + 4, or 8 + 5, or 7 + 6.
Another example
Solve 9 + 8 by splitting 8.
- Split 8 into 1 and 7, because 9 + 1 = 10.
- Then: 10 + 7 = 17.
