The 3 photos below show the three methods to solving two digit addition problems. Your students drew a picture and wrote words explaining how each method works.
"First we added 9 and 3 and it made 12 so we put the one above twos and added the twos and one and got three. And the total was fifty two."
This group's explanation was on the back. In the show all totals methods, students break apart each two digit number into tens and ones. They then add the decade numbers first (20 + 20), then add the ones (3 + 9), then add both sums together (40 +12) to find the total.
"First we wrote the problem then we drew our ten sticks and ones. then we counted all the 10 sticks and ones." (they also made sure to make a new group of 10 out of their ones).
