How do you add 3 numbers?

You can add numbers in any order and get the same total. So with three numbers, pick the two that are easiest to add first. For 6 + 5 + 4, add 6 + 4 = 10, then 10 + 5 = 15.

Pairs that make 10 and doubles are the best ones to look for. For 3 + 7 + 7, add 3 + 7 to make 10 and then 7 more: 17.

Tips for adding three numbers

Look for a pair that makes 10 first: 2 + 5 + 8 → 2 + 8 = 10, then 15.

No ten? Look for a double: 4 + 4 + 3 → 8 + 3 = 11.

Otherwise, add the first two and then the third. Keep the running total in your head.
