Exploring the Give and Take Addition Strategy

The video introduces the give-and-take strategy for addition, which involves adjusting numbers to reach 'friendly' numbers that are easier to add mentally. The strategy is demonstrated through several examples, starting with smaller numbers and progressing to larger ones. By adding to one number and subtracting from the other, the process simplifies mental calculations, making it easier to handle both small and large numbers.

What is the primary goal of the give-and-take strategy in addition?

• To find the largest number possible

• To simplify addition by reaching friendly numbers

• To confuse the calculation process

• To teach subtraction alongside addition

What makes a number a 'friendly number' according to the strategy?

• A number that is complex to calculate

• A number that is a multiple of 5

• A number that is prime

• A number that is easy to add, like multiples of 10 or 100

In the example, how is 99 adjusted to use the give-and-take strategy?

• Multiplied by 2

• Decreased by 1

• No adjustment needed

• Increased by 1

What adjustment is made to 697 to apply the give-and-take strategy?

• Subtract 3 to reach 695

• Add 3 to reach 700

• Add 5 to reach 702

• No adjustment is made

After adjusting 697 to 700, what is the new number added to 700 in the example?

• 178

• 175

• 180

• 170

How is the number 1989 adjusted in the strategy?

• No adjustment is made

• Increased by 11 to reach 2000

• Increased by 10 to reach 1999

• Decreased by 11 to reach 1978

What is the final result after adjusting and adding 1989 and 7432?

• 9432

• 9421

• 9411

• 9443

In the final example, what is the initial adjustment made to 29880?

• Add 120 to reach 30000

• No adjustment is made

• Subtract 120 to reach 29760

• Add 100 to reach 29980

What is the new number added to 30000 after the adjustment in the final example?

• 17200

• 17500

• 17336

• 17456

What is the key benefit of using the give-and-take strategy in addition?

• It helps in learning multiplication

• It simplifies the addition process by making numbers easier to add

• It increases the speed of division

• It helps in understanding geometry
