Add two-digit numbers when the ones make 10 or more by regrouping 10 ones as 1 ten.
Worked example
The ones total 15, so regroup 10 ones as 1 new ten.
Teaching support
Circle or lightly mark the new ten above the tens column, then include it when adding the tens.
Ask how many ones can stay in one place. Keep 5 ones and exchange the other 10 ones for 1 ten.
Suggested sequence
Trade 10 one-units for a ten rod before using the written method.
Connect the exchange to the small regrouped 1 above the tens column.
Show that two two-digit addends can total three digits, such as 68 + 57 = 125.
