Customize this worksheetLearning objective
Add two-digit numbers by combining ones with ones and tens with tens when neither place needs regrouping.
Worked example
Line up the ones and tens, then add each place.
Teaching support
Use the vertical form and point to the ones column before calculating. Ones must sit below ones.
Say “3 tens plus 2 tens” rather than only “3 plus 2” until the place-value meaning is secure.
Suggested sequence
Build both numbers with tens and ones or sketch quick sticks and dots.
Match the model to a vertically aligned equation.
Ask the learner to estimate first, solve, and check that the answer is reasonable.
