T. Melanie Nina Cullar-Clarete
A. Adding by Breaking Up Numbers
Numbers can be broken down into multiples of 10 in order to add them
quickly.

Example
Add 89 and 72

89 72

80 9 70 2
 B. Adding by Grouping
Example Example

23+13+45 23+13+45
23+13+45=36+45 23+(13+45)=23+58

30+6 20+3
40+5 50+8
70+ 10+1 =81 70+ 10+1 =81
B. Adding with Multiples of 10
Addition is easy when the addends
contains zeros.
Example 3000+4000 +2 000
