Arithmetic Grade Two

Lesson Thirty-six: Regrouping If Necessary


Here's a problem in which it is not necessary to regroup:

   33
  +43
  ----
   
When we add up the digits in the ones column we get 6. So, we are done with the ones column and there is no need to regroup.

   33
  +43
  ----
    6   
Next we add up all the numbers in the tens column:

   33
  +43
  ----
   76   
Here's another example:

    37
   +46
   ----

Problem without answer

    1
    37
   +46
   ----
     3 

Adding the 7 and 6 in the ones column we get 13. We take the 3 from 13 and place it in the ones column of the answer and we carry the 1 above the tens column above the addends.

    1
    37
   +46
   ----
    83 

We add up the 1, 3, and 4 in the tens column.
