Max Maths, Year 2, Learn together, Addition within 100 without regrouping

In the Max Maths programme for Year 2, students learn about addition within 100 without regrouping. This foundational mathematical concept helps young learners to understand how to add two numbers together while keeping the process simple and manageable. The "Let's Learn Together" section provides a practical example to illustrate this concept. In the given scenario, Samir has 14 coloured pencils, and Tya has 23 coloured pencils. The task for the students is to find out the total number of coloured pencils they have when combined.

To solve this, the method of breaking down the numbers into tens and ones is introduced. This means taking the number 14, which consists of one ten (10) and four ones (4), and adding it to the number 23, which is made up of two tens (20) and three ones (3). By adding the tens together (10 + 20) and the ones together (4 + 3), students can easily combine the numbers to find the total. The sum of the tens is 30, and the sum of the ones is 7, resulting in the combined total of 37 coloured pencils. This approach simplifies addition by avoiding the need for regrouping, making it an ideal strategy for Year 2 students to grasp the concept of addition within 100.
