Let's solve the "Missing Addends" worksheet step by step. The goal is to find the missing number (addend) that makes each addition equation true.
---
Problem 1:
3 + □ = 5
To find the missing addend, subtract 3 from 5:
5 - 3 =
2
✔ So, 3 + 2 = 5
---
Problem 2:
8 + □ = 10
10 - 8 =
2
✔ So, 8 + 2 = 10
---
Problem 3:
5 + □ = 7
7 - 5 =
2
✔ So, 5 + 2 = 7
---
Problem 4:
1 + □ = 9
9 - 1 =
8
✔ So, 1 + 8 = 9
---
Problem 5:
2 + □ = 6
6 - 2 =
4
✔ So, 2 + 4 = 6
---
Problem 6:
3 + □ = 8
8 - 3 =
5
✔ So, 3 + 5 = 8
---
Problem 7:
4 + □ = 5
5 - 4 =
1
✔ So, 4 + 1 = 5
---
Problem 8:
4 + □ = 10
10 - 4 =
6
✔ So, 4 + 6 = 10
---
Problem 9:
5 + □ = 10
10 - 5 =
5
✔ So, 5 + 5 = 10
---
Problem 10:
1 + □ = 3
3 - 1 =
2
✔ So, 1 + 2 = 3
---
✔ Final Answers:
```
3 + 2 = 5 8 + 2 = 10
5 + 2 = 7 1 + 8 = 9
2 + 4 = 6 3 + 5 = 8
4 + 1 = 5 4 + 6 = 10
5 + 5 = 10 1 + 2 = 3
```

📝 Explanation:
- A
missing addend is the unknown number in an addition problem.
- To find it, you
subtract the known addend from the sum.
- Example: In `3 + □ = 5`, think: "What number added to 3 makes 5?" → 5 - 3 = 2.
This type of problem helps build foundational arithmetic skills and understanding of number relationships.
