Today, we’re going to learn how to add two numbers, 57 and 29, in a fun and easy way. We’ll do this by stacking the numbers on top of each other, just like building blocks!
First, we write the numbers so that the tens and ones line up nicely. The tens are on the left, and the ones are on the right. It looks like this:
57
+29
Let’s start with the ones place. We have 7 and 9. When we add 7 and 9, we get 16. The number 16 has 6 ones, so we write 6 in the ones place. But wait, there’s a 1 left over because 16 is more than 10! We carry this 1 over to the tens place.
Now, let’s add the tens place. We have 1 (the one we carried over), 5, and 2. First, we add 1 and 5, which equals 6. Then, we add 2 more, making it 8. So, we write 8 in the tens place.
And there you have it! When we add 57 and 29, we get 86. Isn’t that fun and easy?
Try practicing with other numbers to get even better at addition. Remember, stacking numbers and carrying over when needed makes adding big numbers a breeze!
Number Building Blocks: Use building blocks or LEGO pieces to represent the numbers in the addition problem. Assign a color to the tens and another to the ones. For example, use blue blocks for tens and red blocks for ones. Stack the blocks to represent 57 and 29, then combine them to visualize the addition process. How many blocks do you have in total?
Number Line Hop: Draw a number line on the ground using chalk or tape. Start at 57 and hop forward 29 steps. Count each hop aloud to see where you land. What number do you reach? This activity helps you understand addition as moving forward on a number line.
Everyday Addition Hunt: Look around your home or classroom for items you can count and add together. For example, count the number of apples and oranges in a fruit bowl. Write down the numbers and stack them to add, just like you learned. What is the total number of fruits?

[Music] Let’s solve the addition problem 57 plus 29 by stacking the numbers so that the tens and ones are lined up. The tens place is on the left and the ones place is on the right.
We start solving the addition equation by adding the numbers in the ones place: 7 plus 9 equals 16. In the number 16, there are 6 ones, which we write in the ones place. The 1 in 16 represents 10, so we carry the 1 over to the tens place and write it above the 5.
Now we add the numbers in the tens place: 1 plus 5 equals 6. We need to add 2 more, which gives us 8 in the tens place.
The answer we found is 86. Therefore, 57 plus 29 equals 86.
