Rosie has 2 carrots in her bag.
Bennie gives her 9 more.
"Do I count on from 2 or 9?" she asks.
Look at 2 + 9.
Counting on 9 from 2 takes a long time.
Turn it around: 9 + 2.
Start at 9. Count on 2, "10, 11."
So 2 + 9 = 11.
Two hops from 9 land on 11.
Turn-around facts work for all numbers.
3 + 14 = 14 + 3. Both make 17.

Nice counting on! Tomorrow we add three numbers.
