Chapter 3.1

Adding with regrouping (using base ten blocks)


What You'll Learn

Identify place values (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands) in multi-digit numbers
Represent numbers visually using base ten blocks for concrete understanding
Apply regrouping by exchanging 10 smaller units for 1 larger unit
Add multi-digit numbers by aligning place values and starting with the ones place
Carry regrouped values to the next place value when sums exceed 9

What You'll Practice

1

Adding two-digit numbers with regrouping in the ones place

2

Adding three-digit numbers with multiple regrouping steps

3

Solving addition problems that create new place values (e.g., two 2-digit numbers becoming a 3-digit sum)

4

Adding three numbers in a single problem with regrouping

5

Solving word problems involving multi-step addition with regrouping

Why This Matters

Mastering addition with regrouping builds your foundation for all higher-level math. You'll use this skill daily when handling money, measuring ingredients, calculating distances, and solving complex problems in algebra and beyond.
