Addition and Subtraction can be solved by using two strategies: counting on and back, rounding, and compensating.
Counting on is adding forward using fingers, when the number is added is under ten. Counting back is subtracting using fingers, when the number is under ten.
Rounding and compensating is rounding the added or subtracted number to the nearest tidy number, then compensating for the rounding. Compensating is done by spitting the new number into the old number and the leftover.
Counting on/back and rounding and compensating are easy strategies to use for addition and subtraction, when numbers get too big to be solved with basic facts.
