Understanding Missing Addend
The Missing Addend is the number that is unknown in an addition problem where you are given the sum and one of the addends. For example, in the equation 5 + ? = 10, the missing addend is 5. Our tool helps you quickly find this missing number.
- Addend: A number that is added to another. In 5 + 3 = 8, 5 and 3 are addends.
- Sum: The total when two or more addends are added together. In 5 + 3 = 8, 8 is the sum.
- Missing Addend Formula: Missing Addend = Sum - Known Addend
Use this calculator to easily solve for missing addends in your math problems! It's particularly useful for elementary students learning addition and subtraction, and for anyone who needs a quick way to solve these types of problems.
