Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn how to add two numbers together in a fun and easy way. Let’s take a look at how we can add 26 and 31 using a simple method.
First, let’s break down the numbers into tens and ones. This will make it easier to add them together.
Now that we’ve broken down the numbers, let’s start by adding the ones. We have 6 ones from 26 and 1 one from 31. When we add them together, 6 + 1 equals 7. So, we have seven ones.
Next, let’s add the tens. We have 20 from 26 and 30 from 31. When we add these together, 20 + 30 equals 50. So, we have fifty from the tens.
Finally, we combine the tens and ones to find the total sum. We have 50 from the tens and 7 from the ones. When we add them together, 50 + 7 equals 57.
So, when we add 26 and 31, the final answer is 57. Isn’t that a fun and easy way to add numbers?
Now you know how to break down numbers and add them step by step. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a math whiz in no time!
Number Detective: Find different objects around your home, like toys or books, and count them. Break down the total number into tens and ones. For example, if you have 34 toys, think of it as 30 (three tens) and 4 (four ones). Try this with different numbers and see how quickly you can break them down!
Build a Number Line: Create a number line using a long strip of paper or a ruler. Mark numbers from 0 to 100. Use small objects like buttons or coins to represent numbers. Practice adding numbers by moving the objects along the number line. For example, start at 26 and move 31 spaces forward. What number do you land on?
Story Problems: Create a simple story that involves adding numbers. For example, “You have 26 apples, and your friend gives you 31 more. How many apples do you have now?” Draw pictures to represent the story and solve the problem by breaking down the numbers into tens and ones, just like in the lesson.
