12 + 0 = 12


Worked-out examples to find the addition fact sums to 12:

1. Add: 10 + 2 = ?

Count the numbers up to add. Start counting after 10 and count up 2:

11, 12

10 + 2 = 12

The sum of 10 + 2 is 12.


2. Find the missing addend whose addition fact sums to 12:

(i) 12 = 6 + ?

Start counting the numbers after 6 to make it equal to 12

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Count the numbers now, there are 6 numbers.

12 = 6 + 6

(ii) 12 = 9 + ?
