Let's solve the addition problems step by step using the
"count on" method. This means we start with the first number and count forward by the second number.
---
🔹 Problem 1:
5 + 1 = ?
- Start at
5, then count on
1 more:
→ 5,
6
- So,
5 + 1 = 6
👉 In the thought bubble:
"5, 6"
---
🔹 Problem 2:
5 + 2 = ?
- Start at
5, then count on
2:
→ 5,
6,
7
- So,
5 + 2 = 7
👉 Thought bubble:
"6, 7"
---
🔹 Problem 3:
7 + 2 = ?
- Start at
7, then count on
2:
→ 7,
8,
9
- So,
7 + 2 = 9
👉 Thought bubble:
"8, 9"
---
🔹 Problem 4:
□ = 6 + 3
- Start at
6, count on
3:
→ 6,
7,
8,
9
- So,
6 + 3 = 9
👉 Thought bubble:
"7, 8, 9"
---
🔹 Problem 5:
□ = 7 + □
This one is missing a number. But looking at the pattern, it seems like we're to complete a similar equation. Let’s assume it's asking for a simple addition that follows the same style.
But since the blank is on both sides, let’s think: perhaps it’s meant to be completed like the others — maybe
7 + 2 = 9, or
7 + 1 = 8, etc.
But in the context of "count on," and matching the previous problems, likely it's expecting:
9 = 7 + 2
Because:
- 7 + 2 = 9
- Counting on from 7: 7,
8,
9
So:
-
9 = 7 + 2
- Thought bubble:
"8, 9"
Alternatively, if the blank is just for the answer, and the second addend is missing, but only one box is given, it might be incomplete.
Wait — let's look again:
> □ = 7 + □
There are two blanks: one for the total, one for the second number.
But there’s no clue unless we infer based on the pattern.
Looking at previous problems:
- We had 5+1, 5+2, 7+2, 6+3 → all small numbers.
Most likely, this is
7 + 2 = 9, so:
✔ 9 = 7 + 2
Thought bubble:
"8, 9"

✔ Final Answers:
| Problem | Answer | Count On Words |
|--------|--------|----------------|
| 5 + 1 = ? |
6 | 5, 6 |
| 5 + 2 = ? |
7 | 6, 7 |
| 7 + 2 = ? |
9 | 8, 9 |
| ? = 6 + 3 |
9 | 7, 8, 9 |
| ? = 7 + ? |
9 = 7 + 2 | 8, 9 |

📝 Summary:
Fill in the boxes:
1. 5 + 1 =
6 → thought:
5, 6
2. 5 + 2 =
7 → thought:
6, 7
3. 7 + 2 =
9 → thought:
8, 9
4.
9 = 6 + 3 → thought:
7, 8, 9
5.
9 = 7 +
2 → thought:
8, 9
