Artsy Adding

So now that you learned about carrying we're going to learn about PLACE VALUE.

See how I put the number 1 on the bottom and carried the other 1 from the 11 to the top...

Now you are probably wondering why there is the number one on the canvas. Well, it's because 5 + 6 is 11 and that is too big of a number. So you have to keep one number in its place, and you have to carry the other number on top.

435 +266

Now I am sure you are wondering why the artsy adding problem on the last page you read had the number 1 on top of the numbers. Well, it's called carrying.

For example in the artsy adding problem below you have to carry-over.

125 + 218

C A R R Y I N G

Well now that you get the main idea of adding 2-digit numbers were going try to add 3-digit numbers like the one you see on the canvas.

Well, little doggie I can read your mind and that answer is...... CORRECT!

Well I am pretty sure it's.... oh! It's 113!

CORRECT! Now you still need to know how that dog got the answer 110!

Well, the reason is because you saw how they were stacked up on top of each other well that's because we need to add the numbers in the one place first. Then add the numbers in the ten places to get your answer. In this case 110!

Okay, today we are going to learn adding in an artsy way. So, first let's try a 2- digit number adding.

ARTSY ADDING

Place value is like organizing everything in there space just like in math. So I will give you a math equation, and you will have to say what is wrong with it.

34 + 22

if you said because the number 22 is not directly under the number 34.

Now let's try another 3-digit number problem.

Wait! Remember to add the numbers in the ones place first. Then the numbers in the tens place.
