Addition with Carrying Practice

Base-10 blocks showing place value

📊 Part 1: Understanding Carrying

1. When adding 27 + 15, what happens in the ones column?

7 + 5 = 12, so we write 12 in the ones place

7 + 5 = 12, so we write 2 in the ones place and carry 1 to the tens

We can't add 7 + 5

2. Which of these addition problems will need carrying? (Tick all that apply)

23 + 14

46 + 28

31 + 12

59 + 36

3. What does "regrouping" mean in addition?

Changing the order of numbers

Trading 10 ones for 1 ten when the sum is more than 9
