Step 1: Let's Learn

Read it, or press Listen and follow the words.

When the ones reach ten, you bundle. That has not changed either.

Check the ones first

38 + 25. Ones: 8 and 5 makes 13. That is more than ten.

Bundle ten of them. 5 tens becomes 6 tens, with 3 ones left.

Write it down

38 + 25 = 63. Saying what you did helps you check it.

The same bundling rule

Ten loose ones become one ten and move across. It is identical to what you did within forty, on bigger numbers.

Look at the ones first

Adding the ones tells you immediately whether a new ten is coming. Deciding that first stops mistakes later.

Step 2: Try It Yourself

Count the loose ones before you bundle.

Count the loose ones. If there are ten or more, bundle them.

Step 3: Watch an Example

One step at a time.

Watch Leo Bundle Again

Leo works out 38 + 25.

  1. Step 1

    He counts the rods: 3 and 2 makes 5 rods.

Step 4: Your Turn

Practice makes it stick.
