I really like to add by drawing. All you have to do is draw a place value chart. Then you use circles to draw the top number and then the bottom number. Then all you have to do is count the numbers in each place. Drawing is my favorite because I like to draw. Drawing is easy for my because I don't have to know my addition facts to do it. All  I have to do is count!
 
My favorite way to add is by branching. I am good at branching because I understand place value and expanded form. I also like it because I only have to add zeroes and they are much easier to add. Branching makes addition much easier!
