About Adding Whole Tens and Hundreds

What this skill is

Adding whole tens and hundreds applies basic addition facts to place value multiples (30 + 40 = 70 because 3 tens + 4 tens = 7 tens).

When children learn it

Adding whole tens and hundreds is taught in 1st through 3rd grade, aligned to 1.NBT.C.4 and 2.NBT.B.8.

Teaching Tips
