How about:
What is 1 + 1000?
What is 2 + 999?
What is 3 + 998?
How many pairs of numbers adding up to 1001 are there from 1 to 1000? Are there any leftover numbers?
What, then, is the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 1000?
What happens if we replace 1000 with 100, 999 with 99, etc.?
What happens if we replace 1000 with 1001, 999 with 1000, etc.?
