Money Addition Place Value

Partition each amount into place value parts, then add matching place values. Show your working. Amounts are in New Zealand dollars.

Partition amounts

Separate each amount into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones where needed.

1.Write $764 as the sum of its hundreds, tens, and ones.
2.Partition $3,508 into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Include a zero-valued part for any empty place.
3.Which expression correctly partitions $2,641?
  • $2,000 + $600 + $40 + $1
  • $200 + $60 + $4 + $1
  • $2,000 + $60 + $400 + $1
  • $2,600 + $4 + $10

Add by place value

Add the amounts by combining equal place values. Keep dollars and cents lined up.

4.Use place value parts to calculate $438 + $276. Show your working and give the total.
5.Add $257, $386, and $149 by combining the hundreds, tens, and ones. Show the subtotal for each place and the final total.
6.Estimate $638 + $271 + $184 by rounding each amount to the nearest hundred. Then calculate the exact total.
7.A school club buys a sports ball for $38.75, cones for $24.60, and bibs for $17.95. Find the total cost by adding dollars and cents carefully.

Use it in context

Think about how place value supports accurate addition.

8.Tane buys a jacket for $86, a book for $32, and a drink bottle for $19. Use place value partitioning to work out how much she spends altogether.
9.Which approach is most useful for adding $465 + $328 accurately?
  • Combine hundreds, tens, and ones separately, then add the subtotals
  • Add only the digits in the hundreds places
  • Change both amounts to different numbers before adding
  • Put the digits in any order and add them without checking place value
10.Explain one reason why separating amounts into place value parts can help when adding money. Give a brief example.
