Add Four 2-Digit Numbers in Columns: what children learn

Adding four two-digit numbers is the same column method with one more row. The ones can add to 30 or more, so up to three tens may be carried.

Add Four 2-Digit Numbers in Columns: worked example

12 + 25 + 31 + 14 = 82

2 + 5 + 1 + 4 = 12 ones: write 2 and carry 1 ten. 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8 tens. So the total is 82.

Add Four 2-Digit Numbers in Columns: a common mistake to watch for

Add Four 2-Digit Numbers in Columns: how to help at home or in class

With four rows, keeping your place is the real challenge. Have your child tick each number with a small pencil mark as it is added into the column so none is skipped or counted twice. Then ask them to add the column again from the bottom up; both directions should give the same total. Use real lists, such as points scored by four players in a game. When ticks become unnecessary, three-digit columns come next.
