FAQ
How does adding with base-ten blocks prepare students for column addition algorithms?⌄
The blocks make it natural to add tens to tens and ones to ones separately, which is exactly the logic behind the standard column addition algorithm.
What types of addition problems appear on base-ten block addition worksheets?⌄
Problems typically include adding two two-digit numbers, a two-digit and a one-digit number, and adding multiples of ten — all without regrouping at this stage.
When should regrouping with base-ten blocks be introduced?⌄
After students are comfortable with no-regrouping addition using blocks, regrouping can be introduced by physically trading 10 unit cubes for a rod.
