⁦In Ukrainian Grade 1 books an unknown component in a sum with a box or a question mark is found by a rule⁩. ⁦To find an unknown addend, subtract the known addend from the sum⁩. ⁦To find an unknown minuend, add the subtrahend to the difference⁩. ⁦To find an unknown subtrahend, subtract the difference from the minuend⁩.

⁦In Grade 2 children learn to predict how the result changes when one component changes⁩. ⁦If one addend grows by 2 and the other stays, the sum also grows by 2⁩. ⁦This lets you compare expressions without calculating⁩: ⁦8 + 5 is less than 8 + 7, because the first addends are the same and 5 is less than 7⁩.

⁦Apples and counters help you see the rule⁩. ⁦Then you can use it with any numbers⁩.
