What it is

In first grade, adding within 100 means problems like 40 + 30, 52 + 20 and 46 + 7. Kids use what they know about tens and ones. Tens go with tens and ones go with ones. When the ones add up to 10 or more, those ones make a new ten.

What comes next

In second grade, adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping.

How to teach it

  • Use base-ten blocks or drawings. Put the rods together, then the cubes.
  • For adding tens, think of it like adding small numbers. 4 tens + 3 tens = 7 tens, which is 70.
  • For 46 + 7, the 4 tens stay put. 6 + 7 = 13, which is another ten and 3 ones, so 53.
  • Line numbers up in the grid so tens are over tens and ones are over ones.

Common mistakes

  • Adding the one-digit number to the tens, so 46 + 7 becomes 116.
  • Forgetting to carry the new ten when the ones add up to 10 or more.
  • Writing 7 instead of 70 for 40 + 30.
