Adding Numbers
With Regrouping

When adding numbers 
 ALWAYS  
line up place value columns.

       tens        ones    

 

               47 + 25 =

tens

ones

4 7

2

5

                    Then add each column 
   starting with the
             
ones 
    then....tens
   

Ones      7 + 5 = 12
Rename 12 as 1 ten + 2 ones.
 Place 2 in the ones column and add the 1 ten in the tens column.

+1
  4 7
+ 2 5
   7 2


 

                             Let's look at another example.

                                                  68 + 15 =

               +1
   
   6                              
+     1  5      

       
 8  3    (8 + 5 = 13,          13 = 1 ten and 3 ones)
                                                                                                                                

                             so,   68 +  15 =  83

             More Examples: 
  
              +1                                                  +1                                              +1

            55                                 47                              38
         + 29                             + 28                          + 44

            84                                 75                             82

     REMEMBER:    Add each column 
   starting with the
             
ones 
    then....tens
