4. ADDITION: Two 2-Digit Numbers (Sum ≤ 50)
Adding 2-Digit Numbers: When we add two 2-digit numbers, we add the ones first, then the tens.
Examples:
- 12 + 15 = 27
- 20 + 18 = 38
- 14 + 23 = 37
- 25 + 13 = 38
Exercise 12: Add these 2-digit numbers:
- 11 + 12 = ___
- 13 + 14 = ___
- 15 + 16 = ___
- 20 + 18 = ___
- 22 + 15 = ___
Exercise 13: Find the sum:
- 10 + 25 = ___
- 14 + 21 = ___
- 16 + 12 = ___
- 23 + 11 = ___
Exercise 14: Complete the addition:
- 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 + 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 = ___ (12 + 15)
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = ___ (14 + 21)
Exercise 15: Step-by-step addition:
- 13 + 24 = ? Add ones: 3 + 4 = ___ Add tens: 10 + 20 = ___ Total: ___ + ___ = ___
- 16 + 22 = ? Add ones: 6 + 2 = ___ Add tens: 10 + 20 = ___ Total: ___ + ___ = ___
Exercise 16: Word problems:
- Tom has 15 marbles. His friend gives him 12 more marbles. How many marbles does Tom have now? 15 + 12 = ___
- There are 18 girls and 16 boys in the class. How many children are there in total? 18 + 16 = ___
