Adding 2 Digit Numbers & Spelling

We are learning to vertically write numbers in place to add with regrouping. 

   1

   24

+ 39

   63

Always start adding from the right side, which is the pennies column.  We bring the dime from 4 + 9 = 13 to the top and place it over the 2 in the tens column. Make sure you begin counting with the dime you placed at the top….

1 + 2 = 3 and continue  3 + 3 = 6  The sum (answer) is 63.  You may also need to place cent signs after each number depending on the problem.

THIS BECOMES A HARD TASK when one of the numbers is a single digit.

3 + 28 is more difficult then it looks.  Students tend to line up the 3 with the tens column instead of the pennies column.

   3

+ 28

   58

This is not correct and is very hard for students to see.  The true answer occurs when the single digit is placed into the pennies column.

   1

     3

+ 28

   31

3 + 8 = 11, The dime is placed at the top above the empty space.  Adding continues at the top of the empty space with 1 + 2 = 3.

The sum (answer) is 31.
