What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students add two numbers with a sum no greater than 100. They use tens and ones blocks or drawings, trade ten ones for a ten when needed, and write a matching equation.
What Mastery Looks Like
- For 27 + 35, a student shows 5 tens and 12 ones, then trades 10 ones for a ten. They write 20 + 30 + 7 + 5 = 62 and explain where the sixth ten came from.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may write 512 for 27 + 35, joining 5 tens and 12 ones without making a new ten. Others make the trade with blocks but leave it out of their written work.
How to Assess It
- Give students 36 + 27. Ask them to draw tens and ones, write a matching equation, and circle the ten they made from ones.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs base-ten rods and cubes to build 27 + 35, trade ten cubes for a rod, then write a matching equation.
Show 46 + 28 = 614 and ask, 'What happened to the ones, and how would you fix the answer?'
Play three-card match with cards showing 27 + 35, a base-ten drawing, and 20 + 30 + 7 + 5 = 62.
A class collected 38 cans Monday and 24 Tuesday; have students draw tens and ones and write an equation for the total.
