Adding Numbers
With Regrouping

When adding numbers 
 ALWAYS  
line up place value columns.
hundreds        tens        ones
    

 

               547 + 325 =

hundreds

tens

ones

5 4 7

3

2

5

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

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
  5 4 7
+3 2 5
  8 7 2


 

                             Let's look at another example.

                                                  468 + 215 =

               +1
   
 4 6                              
+   2  1  5      

       
 6 8  3    (8 + 5 = 13,          13 = 1 ten and 3 ones)
                                                                                                                                

                             so,   468 +  215 =  683

             More Examples: 
  
              +1                                                     +1                                              +1

           755                                847                            238
         +229                             +128                          +344

           984                                975                            582

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