What Is Regrouping?
Regrouping happens when the sum in one column is more than 9.
We carry over the extra to the next column.
It’s like moving apples from a small basket (ones place) to a bigger basket (tens place).
Step-by-Step Example
Let’s solve 47 + 36 together:
- Add the Ones Place:The ones digits are
7
and6
. Adding them gives13
.We write 3 in the ones place and carry over 1 to the tens place.
- Add the Tens Place:The tens digits are
4
and3
. Adding them gives7
.Don’t forget the 1 we carried over! So,
7 + 1 = 8
. - Write the Answer:The ones place is 3, and the tens place is 8. The final answer is 83.
Practice Problems
- 56 + 27 =
- 68 + 34 =
- 79 + 15 =
Tips for Success
- Start with the ones place: Always add the right column first.
- Carry over: If the sum is 10 or more, move the extra to the next column.
- Write neatly: Keep numbers aligned to avoid mistakes.
