The objective of this worksheet is to teach students the important skill of regrouping, or carrying, in addition when dealing with two-digit numbers. It guides the students through the process of adding the ones place numbers first, then carrying any excess to the tens place, and finally adding the tens place numbers, ensuring a correct sum. This practice is essential for the development of strong arithmetic skills and prepares students for more advanced math problems. The coloring activity included in the worksheet serves as a creative reward, promoting a positive and enjoyable learning experience.
