Math: Two-digit Addition w/ Regrouping

11/13/15
8:30am

SOL: 2.6 The student, given two whole numbers whose sum is 99 or less, will
a) estimate the sum; and
b) find the sum, using various methods of calculation.
Content outline:
Solve problems presented vertically or horizontally that require finding the sum of two
whole numbers whose sum is 99 or less, using paper and pencil.
Solve problems, using mental computation strategies, involving addition of two whole
numbers whose sum is 99 or less.
Rationale: Regrouping is used in addition when a sum in a particular place value is 10 or
greater. It is important for students to utilize their strategies to quickly add two numbers so they
will not overthink the problem and make mistakes. The students will also use their knowledge of
regrouping as a foundation once they begin subtracting with regrouping; in regrouping for
addition, they regroup ones to make a ten and carry it to the correct column; for subtraction, they
will need to take away a ten and regroup it to make 10 ones and borrow from the next column.
Encouraging them to be aware of writing the numbers neatly, in straight columns, will help them
greatly once the numbers begin to get bigger!
Objective(s) of the lesson: Today I will use my knowledge of place value and regrouping so that
I can find the sum of any two-digit numbers. I know Ill have it when I can correctly carry a ten
to the tens column.
Lesson Opening: Today, we will be using our knowledge of regrouping as a strategy to add two
numbers in which the sum is greater than 9. The teacher will preview each station:
Partner games
Guided practice
Journal- When do you use regrouping to solve problems?
Independent practice- Task cards- students will move to each problem throughout the
room and write the number and answer on their own paper; teacher will emphasize no
more than 2 students at the same problem, at the same time.
The opening for the guided practice will be explained below.
Connection: The students have had a lot of practice with place value and should be familiar with
the concept that 10 ones equals one ten. This was reinforced with the learning of making a ten
and regrouping. They will use this knowledge to learn when it is acceptable to carry the number
in the tens place over to the tens column if necessary.
Instructional Strategies/Processes: For Guided Practice

Using the worksheet as a guide, the teacher will begin by modeling the example 54+27
on a dry erase board. First we will add the ones; which two numbers are in the ones
column? (4 and 7) What does that equal? (4+7=11) Well leave the 1 below in the ones
column and regroup the one in the tens place to the tens column. Now we need to add the
tens column 5+2+1=8. That leaves 81 as our answer! Explain the bulleted part after they
have finished the example.
Explain the importance of writing the numbers neatly and in clear columns so they do not
regroup onto the wrong set of numbers!
39+13: Add the ones (9+3=12). Leave the 2 below in the ones column and regroup the
one to the tens column. Add the tens column (3+1+1=5) So the answer is 52! Well do one
more together and then I want to see what you can do on your own and talk about it!
42+28: When we add, we add from right to left, so which two numbers will we add first?
(2+8=10) Remember, we can only have 9 in the ones column so we have to leave the zero
and regroup the one to the tens column.

Assessment: This will be done through observation during the guided practice as well as during
the independent practice.
Closure: The students will be asked to clean off desks after the stations are finished. Once they
have regrouped, the teacher will ask for volunteers to write two digit numbers on the board and
solve with help from the class.
Homework: N/A
Differentiation: All students will try all of the activities. Observations will be made during
guided practice to see who may need extra help during independent practice.
