Add a one-digit number to a two-digit number – without regrouping
Key notes:-
๐งฎ What Does Addition Mean?
โ Addition means putting two numbers together to make a bigger number.
๐ก Example: 3 + 2 = 5 ๐
๐ข Two-Digit + One-Digit Numbers
When we add a one-digit number (like 2, 3, or 5) to a two-digit number (like 21, 34, or 46), we are just adding ones.
๐ง Example: 32 + 5 = 37
๐ซ Without Regrouping Meansโฆ
๐ It means the ones do not make a new ten.
๐งฉ The total of the ones is less than 10.
๐ฌ Example:
34 + 3 = 37 (โ
no regrouping)
34 + 8 = 42 (โ regrouping needed)
๐โโ๏ธ Steps to Add Without Regrouping
1๏ธโฃ Write the numbers in columns (tens and ones).
2๏ธโฃ Add the ones place first.
3๏ธโฃ Add the tens place (it stays the same since no regrouping).
๐ฏ Example:
45
+ 3
-----
48 โ
๐ Quick Trick!
๐ Just count forward from the two-digit number.
๐ฒ Example: 52 + 4 = count 53, 54, 55, 56 ๐ฐ 56
๐ Practice Time!
๐ 21 + 3 = ?
๐ 46 + 2 = ?
๐ 57 + 1 = ?
๐ 64 + 4 = ?
๐ Remember!
โจ Always check: Did the ones go above 9?
If No, โ itโs without regrouping! ๐
If Yes, then itโs regrouping. ๐
