3
Choose the addends. Fill in the right numbers.
4
Read the equalities. Pay attention to the sum of each pair of equalities.
2 plus 3 equals 5.
3 plus 2 equals 5.
6 plus 3 equals 9.
3 plus 6 equals 9.
5 plus 4 equals 9.
4 plus 5 equals 9.
If you change the order of the addends, the sum does not change.
2 plus 3 equals 3 plus 2.
6 plus 3 equals 3 plus 6.
5 plus 4 equals 4 plus 5.
Let's do the task together.
Let's find the wrong expression and choose it.
Look at the screen.
If you add 4 to 3, you get 7.
If you add 3 to 4, you also get 7.
Because if you change the order of the addends, the sum does not change.
So, the expression 4 plus 3 equals 8 is wrong.
Let's choose it.
Do the next tasks by yourself.
