Unit 2: Addition

Topic C: Addition of Larger Numbers

Use these steps to complete each addition question.

  1. Add the ones to the ones.
  2. Add the tens to the tens.
  3. Add the hundreds to the hundreds.

Example A:

[latex]\begin{align*} 23\\ +56\\ \hline \\ \end{align*}[/latex]

  1. Add the ones to the ones. 3 ones + 6 ones = 9 ones. Write the answer in line with the ones in the equation.
    [latex]\begin{align*} 23\\ +56\\ \hline 9 \end{align*}[/latex]
  2. Add the tens. 2 tens + 5 tens = 7 tens
    [latex]\begin{align*} 23\\ +56\\ \hline 79\end{align*}[/latex]

The sum of 23 + 56 = 79

Example B:

[latex]\begin{align*} 372\\ +415\\ \hline \\ \end{align*}[/latex]

  1. Add the ones. 2 ones + 5 ones = 7 ones
    [latex]\begin{align*} 372\\ +415\\ \hline 7\end{align*}[/latex]
  2. Add the tens. 7 tens + 1 ten = 8 tens
    [latex]\begin{align*} 372\\ +415\\ \hline 87\end{align*}[/latex]
  3. Add the hundreds. 3 hundreds + 4 hundreds = 7 hundreds
    [latex]\begin{align*} 372\\ +415\\ \hline 787\end{align*}[/latex]

The sum of 372 + 415 = 787

Emotions Check

How are you feeling?

  • Are your palms moist?
  • How is your breathing?

Take control. Be the boss. If you are feeling anxious, practice your breathing exercise.

Remember: Breathe in slowly to the count of four, hold it for the count of four.
