Dragon Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the concept of regrouping in addition and presents several two-digit addition problems for students to solve. Each problem is set up in a vertical format, requiring students to add the ones and then the tens, taking into account any carry-over from the ones to the tens place. The sheet includes a range of sums, from relatively simple additions to more complex ones that require regrouping. A black and white illustration of a cute, cartoonish creature is positioned at the center of the page, which students can color after completing the math exercises.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students the concept of regrouping, also known as carrying, in addition. It encourages them to practice column addition where they need to add each column starting from the right, carry over any extra value to the next column, and write down the final sum. This skill is vital for students to master as it forms the foundation for more advanced arithmetic operations. The inclusion of a coloring activity serves as a creative reward for the completion of the math problems, integrating fun into the learning process.
