Let us consider the following missing addend question.

3 + __ = 7

The above question tells us that some number is added to 3, the answer is 7.

What number should be added to 3 to get the answer 7 ?

The number can be found by trial and error.

If we add 1 to 3, we get 4.

If we add 2 to 3, we get 5.

If we add 3 to 3, we get 6.

If we add 4 to 3, we get 7.

So we get the correct answer 7 when we add 4 to 3.

The missing addend is 4.

There is one more way to get the missing addend.

Solved Problems

Problem 1 :

Find the missing addend.

5 + __ = 12

Solution :

When we subtract 5 from 12, we get 7.

Hence, the missing addend is 7.

Problem 2 :

Find the missing addend.

6 + __ = 20

Solution :

When we subtract 6 from 20, we get 14.

Hence, the missing addend is 14.

Problem 3 :

Find the missing addend.

7 + __ = 9

Solution :

When we subtract 7 from 9, we get 2.

Hence, the missing addend is 2.

Problem 4 :

Find the missing addend.

__ + 5 = 12

Solution :

When we subtract 5 from 12, we get 7.

Hence, the missing addend is 7.

Problem 5 :

Find the missing addend.

9 + __ = 12

Solution :

When we subtract 9 from 12, we get 3.

Hence, the missing addend is 3.

Problem 6 :

Find the missing addend.

0 + __ = 12

Solution :

When we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.

Hence, the missing addend is 12.

Problem 7 :

Find the missing addend.

0 + __ = 0

Solution :

When we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.

Hence, the missing addend is 0.

Problem 5 :

Find the missing addend.

1 = __ + 1

Solution :

When we subtract 1 from 1, we get 0.

Hence, the missing addend is 0. 

Problem 6 :

Find the missing addend.

8 = __ + 6

Solution :

When we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.

Hence, the missing addend is 2.

Problem 5 :

Find the missing addend.

21 = 17 + __

Solution :

When we subtract 17 from 21, we get 4.

Hence, the missing addend is 4.

Problem 6 :

Two second grade classes are sharing a bus for the field trip. Mr. Gus has 22 students in his class. Miss Bands has 29 students in her class. How many students rode the bus in all?

Solution :

Number of students in Mr. Gus's class = 22

Number of students in Miss. Bands's class = 29

Total number of students = 22 + 29

= 51

So, total number of students rode the bus is 51.

Problem 7 :

Lil was organizing her art supplies. She has 69 crayons and 53 markers. How many more crayons than markers does she have?

Number of black + white rocks = 96

? + 38 = 96

Number of black rocks = 96 - 38

= 58

Problem 9 :

Tobie’s teacher surprised the class by making chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for their party. She made 86 cupcakes. 53 of them were chocolate. How many were vanilla?

Number of vannila cupcakes + chocolate cupcakes = 86

? + 53 = 86

Number of vannila cupcakes = 86 - 53

= 33

Problem 10 :

At the Santo School 48 girls and 39 boys go to the After School Club. On Tuesday 18 children were absent. How many children were there?
