Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.

Adding within 100 means combining numbers under 100 by thinking in tens and ones. Two important cases: a two-digit number plus a one-digit number (45 + 7), and a two-digit number plus a multiple of 10 (45 + 30). We will build with tens groups, write the equations, then try mental answers with a quick check.
Spend about 12 minutes adding within 100 with tens and ones models—first a two-digit plus ones, then a two-digit plus a multiple of 10—then checking two fresh problems.

Two worked strategies for 45 + 36 connect tens and ones. This is a transition from grade 1 toward grade 2, not an independent fluency assessment.

Before you openAsk which parts are tens and which are ones, and whether each strategy would work on a different pair. One example does not certify fluency within 100.

Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-10 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

Check understanding
- Calculate 46 + 7 using place value (46 + 4 + 3 = 53)
- Calculate 38 + 40 = 78 using tens understanding
- Relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning
“Can your child work out sums like '47 + 8' or '35 + 50' by thinking about the tens and ones separately rather than counting up one at a time?”
