Adding 2 Digit Numbers - With Carry

When adding two numbers that have a mixture of ones and tens in the number you need to do 2 sums.

1.  Firstly add the ones units

2.  Then add the tens units

Eg

 36

+48

First add the ones units by adding the 6 and 8 together to get 14.

14 is made up of 1 ten and 4 ones.

Since we are only working with the ones, put down the ones answer in the ones column and add 1 ten to the tens column.

 36

+48

  1

  4

Then add the tens units by adding the 3 and 4 together to get 7 and then add the extra 1 lot of tens from the previous operation to get 8 and put the answer in the tens column

 36

+48

 84
