Key concepts students will learn:

  • When adding multi-digit numbers, we "carry" a number to the next place value column when the sum of the digits in a column is greater than or equal to 10.

  • When you have a sum greater than nine in a place value column, you regroup the value by placing the ones digit in the current column and carrying the tens digit to the next column.

  • You can check your addition by subtracting one of the addends from the sum to see if it equals the other addend.
