When we add two-digit numbers, we add the ones first and then the tens. Sometimes the ones add up to 10 or more. When that happens we regroup (your teacher might say trade or carry): 10 ones become 1 ten, and we move that ten into the tens column.
Regrouping only makes sense if you remember what each digit is worth. In 47, the 4 means 4 tens (40) and the 7 means 7 ones.
| Number | Tens | Ones |
|---|---|---|
| 47 | 4 | 7 |
| 25 | 2 | 5 |
| 60 | 6 | 0 |
| 18 | 1 | 8 |
47 + 25 in columns
38 + 6 (adding a one-digit number)
Another way: the jump strategy. You can also add in your head by jumping along a number line. Add the tens first, then the ones. This is a great way to check a column answer.
56 + 27 using the jump strategy
Answers: 1. 43 2. 84 3. 65 4. 92 5. 36 6. No (3 + 5 = 8, which is less than 10); the total is 68.
