Add three or more numbers up to two digits each

key points :

❤️ Add Step by Step

👉 Add the first two numbers, then add the next number.
Example:
8 + 5 + 3
→ 8 + 5 = 13
→ 13 + 3 = 16 🎉

---

🔢 Add from Left to Right or Right to Left — Both Work!

📌 Start anywhere, just add one number at a time.
➡️ 12 + 7 + 4
➡️ 12 + 7 = 19
➡️ 19 + 4 = 23

---

🎯 Look for Easy Pairs

✨ Find numbers that make 10, 20, or 30.
Example:
6 + 4 + 9
→ 6 + 4 = 10
→ 10 + 9 = 19 😃

---

🌟 Add Tens and Ones Separately

💡 Break numbers into tens and ones.
Example:
23 + 15 + 12
→ Tens: 20 + 10 + 10 = 40
→ Ones: 3 + 5 + 2 = 10
→ Total = 40 + 10 = 50 🎉

---

🧠 Regroup When Needed

If ones add up to 10 or more, regroup!
Example:
7 + 8 + 6
→ 7 + 8 = 15
→ 15 + 6 = 21
(15 is already regrouped!) 🔄

🎈 Order Does NOT Change the Answer

✨ You can change the order of numbers.
Example:
4 + 9 + 6 =
9 + 4 + 6 =
6 + 9 + 4 =
All equal 19! 🌟

🟩 Use Fingers, Number Line, or Blocks

🧱 Tools make adding easier.
✔️ Counting blocks
✔️ Number lines
✔️ Fingers
✔️ Beads
Use whatever helps! 😊

🎉 Check Your Work

🔍 Add the numbers again in a different order to make sure the answer is correct.

Example:
5 + 7 + 3 = 15
