What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add a small amount to a number made of tens and ones. They use objects, drawings, or place-value thinking to find sums no greater than 100.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can model and solve problems such as 42 + 6 and 58 + 7. They can explain when the ones stay separate and when 10 ones become a new ten.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add the ones digit to the tens digit, so 34 + 5 becomes 84. They may also forget that 10 ones can be traded for 1 ten.
How to Assess It
- Give students 47 + 6. Ask them to solve it with a drawing, write the sum, and explain what happens to the ones.

Ways to Teach It
Have students build two-digit numbers with base-ten blocks, add loose cubes, and trade 10 cubes for a ten rod when needed.
Show 38 + 7 and ask students to draw the tens and ones, then write how they found the sum.
Students draw a two-digit card and a 1 to 9 card, add them, and keep the cards if their answer is correct.
Set up a sticker shop with sheets of 10 and single stickers, then ask students to find totals after receiving more stickers.
