Now let's complicate our math problems a bit. See if you can add these numbers in French. Write your answer, then click each one to see if you are correct.

Use the following vocabulary: plus for "plus" and font (literally, "make") for "equals."

17 + 7 = 24
12 + 9 = 21
20 + 10 = 30
14 + 13 = 27
27 + 2 = 29
18 + 4 = 22
