Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Addition within 100 with regrouping (1)

Max Maths for Year 2 introduces children to the concept of addition within 100 with regrouping, a foundational arithmetic skill. In the 'Let's Try It' exercise, students are encouraged to practice adding two 2-digit numbers together, where regrouping is necessary due to the sum of the ones exceeding ten. The process is broken down into clear, manageable steps to ensure understanding and mastery of the concept.

The exercise begins with Step 1, where students write down the numbers in tens and ones format, for example, 14 and 68. They are then asked to fill in the blanks for each place value. In Step 2, the focus shifts to regrouping, where students learn to convert excess ones into tens. This is a critical step in understanding how to handle larger sums in the ones column. Finally, in Step 3, students add the tens and ones separately, ensuring they have correctly regrouped where necessary. The exercise helps reinforce the concept of place value and the importance of regrouping in the addition process. It's a practical way for children to gain confidence in handling larger numbers and sets the foundation for more complex mathematical operations.
