  1. My second grade class loves coming up with variations on this. My personal favorite so far is what is the largest sum you can make with the biggest difference between the two numbers? I also like what is the largest/smallest you can make with only even or odd numbers?

    96+87 for largest and 14+23 for smallest . Since you are only moving a “one”, the value of the sum remains the same

  3. 40+60=100

  4. 97+86

  5. 98+76

  6. lasr :13+24=37
    high:97+86=183

  7. 19 + 43

  8. Smallest :13+24=37
    highest:97+86=183

  9. 12 + 34 =46

    98 + 76 = 174

  10. small 38+50 = 88
    large 70+ 40 = 110

  11. 97+86
    13+24

  12. smallest-15+27
    largest-45+36

  13. 16+82=98

  14. 12+36=48

    no repeating numbers and all numbers are less than 9

  15. Largest 97+86
    Smallest 13+24

  16. LARGE 87+96
    SMALL 1+2
