Easy Addition: The Plus 0 Facts
This really amounts to a rule. In other words, “any number plus 0 is the same number.”
If you need to, you can represent the plus zero strategy visually. One involves the use of
a number line. The second involves a ten frame.

A Ten Frame for 4 + 0
Demonstrating the Strategy
You can use the number line to show basic plus zero facts. Count out on the number line,
state the number, and then say, “I’m going to add 0 more. That means I don’t have any
more. So, 4 + 0 = 4 because I don’t add any more.” You can use a similar method for
the ten frame. Use a number of different facts to communicate the plus one strategy.
General Guidelines
Students should learn these facts very quickly because they all follow a simple rule.
Remember, use the first page of the facts set to talk about the strategy. Give students
enough time to apply the strategy to the facts. For the remaining pages, use the mastery
criterion – at least 35 correct facts out of 40 in two minutes. Duplicate fact sheets if you
need to in order to give students enough practice to meet the mastery criterion. Also,
look over student sheets to see if particular facts are difficult for students. If so, provide
even more practice on these facts.
