Adding Five-Digit Numbers in Word Problems
Learning Objective
I can solve 5-digit addition word problems with regrouping.
Key Concepts
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.
