Bottom Digit Sums

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of addition with regrouping, commonly known as carrying over. The problems are arranged in a grid format, each containing an addition equation with two-digit numbers. Some of the problems are already solved, providing examples of how to carry over a digit when the sum exceeds nine. Blank spaces are provided for students to write the sum for the unsolved problems, allowing them to practice the technique of regrouping.

The worksheet aims to build on basic addition skills by introducing students to more complex problems that require regrouping. It helps students understand that when adding two numbers, if the sum of any column is ten or more, they must carry over to the next column. This is a critical step in developing arithmetic skills, particularly for understanding place value and preparing for multi-digit addition. Through repeated practice, students become more confident and efficient in handling addition problems that involve carrying over.
