Learn to add two-digit numbers using the break apart strategy. Practice with classroom library scenarios and master adding tens and ones separately.
Our classroom library has 23 story books and 15 science books. How many books do we have in total?
23 + 15 = ?
Master two-digit addition through interactive activities and real-world scenarios
Step 1: Break apart the numbers
23 = 20 + 3
15 = 10 + 5
Step 2: Add tens first
20 + 10 = 30
Step 3: Add ones second
3 + 5 = 8
Step 4: Combine results
30 + 8 = 38
No regrouping needed!
34 + 25 = ?
Hint: (30 + 20) + (4 + 5)
42 + 36 = ?
Hint: (40 + 30) + (2 + 6)
17 + 22 = ?
Hint: (10 + 20) + (7 + 2)
