Ten ones make a ten

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

54 + 39 is 93, not 813. The 13 ones are 1 ten and 3 ones.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 54 + 39 = □. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Add the tens
  2. Add the ones
  3. Trade 10 ones for a ten
  4. One digit in each place

Helping at home

Each place holds one digit. When the ones make 10 or more, trade 10 of them for a new ten, then write the tens and the ones left.

If your kid gets stuck

Each place holds one digit.
