FAQ

Why do students only need to think about the tens digit when adding whole tens?

Because whole tens have a zero in the ones place, only the tens digit changes — the ones digit of the original number stays the same, making these problems excellent for mental math.

How do these worksheets support place value understanding?

Students must recognize that adding 30 to 47 changes only the tens column (4 tens + 3 tens = 7 tens), which deepens their understanding of how digits in different positions interact.

What should students do if the tens digits sum to more than 9?

When the tens digits add up to 10 or more, students must regroup into the hundreds place — these problems are a great early introduction to three-digit sums.
