Part 2 – Adding Numbers Step by Step (Worked Examples

& Notes)
Created for Dhruv — October 15, 2025

Learning Goals

• Learn a step-by-step method to compute triangular numbers without confusing steps.


• Follow two worked examples and get class-ready notes.

Step-by-Step Method

1) Start with 1. 2) Add the next counting number, then the next, and so on. Keep a small
column of results.
Worked example 1: To make the 6th triangular number — write: 1 → 1; add 2 → 3; add 3 → 6;
add 4 → 10; add 5 → 15; add 6 → 21. So the 6th is 21.

Worked Example 2

Find the 9th triangular number quickly: continue from known ones: 28 (7th) → add 8 → 36 (8th)
→ add 9 → 45 (9th). So 45.

Class Notes Box

Note: Keep a small vertical list — it looks like neat class notes and is friendly for uploads or
sharing in study groups.
