Stacking to Add inside a T FRAME and the Water Cycle

Stacking for Addition inside of a T-Frame Chart

Today we discussed neatness and organization in Math, and how it can help us in our thinking. We practiced using rulers to create T-charts to place our stacked equation inside of. The double line at the bottom represents our equal sign.  We carefully circle and regroup ten's, and move them over to the higher place-value column using an arrow!







In Math we are continuing to look at the strategy of stacking to ADD a math equation. What symbols do we need to see in order to know if we are adding or subtracting? What does it mean if we are adding numbers? 


Remember to always start with the ONES. We can see that we can make a 10 with all of these 1's. That ten cannot stay in the ones column. When there are 10 ones they REGROUP together to make a 10. THEN the 10 needs to MOVE to the Tens Column.


Once we circle a ten they are REGROUPED together and move on over to the Tens Column!


Now we have 6 tens instead of 5 and only 1 one left in the ONEs Column. 

What is your final answer?

We also have been talking about how you need to read a word problem, in order to understand how to solve it.
