Worked examples

Model ItI do

Add 34 + 28.

Add the ones: 4 + 8 = 12. That is 1 ten and 2 ones, so regroup. Add the tens: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 tens. The sum is 62.

Try It TogetherWe do

Find 52 - 17.

We cannot take 7 ones from 2 ones, so regroup 1 ten into 10 ones, making 12 ones. Then 12 - 7 = 5 ones, and 4 - 1 = 3 tens. The difference is 35.
