Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • When adding 5-digit numbers, it is important to add the ones place first, then the tens, hundreds, thousands, and ten-thousands places.

  • If the sum of any place value column is greater than 9, you must regroup by carrying the tens digit to the next higher place value.

  • When the numbers look confusing, you can cover up the numbers to make it easier to add.
