In real life, you need to work with multi digits. Multi-digit numbers are those that have more than one digit in mathematics. They consist of two or more digits, with each digit’s value depending on where it is in the number. A digit’s place value is determined by its position within a multi-digit number; the rightmost digit represents the units place, the next digit to the left represents the tens place, and so on.

Our children from grades 1-5, especially children from 4th grade to 5th grade, will be able to learn basic mathematics very quickly and interactively with the help of these multi digit addition word problems. These methods should assist your young champ in learning the basics of mathematical operation learning and laying a solid foundation.

With Regrouping

Problem: Jack has 27 balloons and his sister Jerin has 19 balloons. How many balloons do they have together?

Solution:

• First, extract the numbers from the word problem.
• You need to add 27 to 19 to get the total number of balloons.
• Write down the numbers 27 and 19 in a column.
• First add the ones place numbers 7 and 9. You will get 16. Write down the 6 in the ones place of summation.
• Now, you have a carry 1. You add this carry to the tens place.
• You have 2 and 1 at the tens place. Add them. Then add the carry with it. You will get the number 4
• Write down the number in the tens place of the summation.
• Finally, you get the result 46.

Without Regrouping

Problem: You have 15 pencils and 12 erasers. How many pencils and erasers do you have together?

Solution:

• You need to add the numbers to get the total number of pencils and erasers.
• Write down the numbers 15 and 12 in a column.
• Add the ones place numbers first.
• Then add the tens place numbers.
• You will get the total number is 27.

Triple Digit Addition with 2 Digits

Problem: A children’s choir has 163 girls and 31 boys. What is the total strength of the children’s choir?

Solution:

• First, extract the numbers from the word problem and write them down column by column. Here the numbers are 163 and 31.
• After that, sum up the one’s place. Then do the same for ten’s place and hundred’s place respectively.
• Finally, you will get the result 194.
