Lesson Summary

Learn how to add three numbers together by grouping two of them first.

Explanation

When you see three numbers to add, pick two that are easy to add first. Look for numbers that make 10 or doubles. For example, in 3 + 7 + 2, add 3 + 7 first to get 10, then add the 2 to get 12. It does not matter which two you add first — the answer will always be the same.
