Let's break down the concept of adding numbers by separating them into ones, tens, and hundreds using our examples and language.

Understanding Number Breakdown

Consider the number 163:

• Hundreds place: 1 (which is 100)

• Tens place: 6 (which is 60)

• Ones place: 3 (which is 3)

So, 163 is the same as: 100+60+3100 + 60 + 3100+60+3

When visualized, it would be:

• 1 group of 100 squares

• 6 groups of 10 squares

• 3 single squares

Now, let's add another number, 324:

• Hundreds place: 3 (which is 300)

• Tens place: 2 (which is 20)

• Ones place: 4 (which is 4)

So, 324 is: 300+20+4300 + 20 + 4300+20+4

Visualizing this, we get:

• 3 groups of 100 squares

• 2 groups of 10 squares

• 4 single squares

Adding Numbers Step-by-Step

Step 1: Adding the OnesFirst, add the ones place: 3(from163)+4(from324)=73 (from 163) + 4 (from 324) = 73(from163)+4(from324)=7

Step 2: Adding the TensNext, add the tens place: 60(6tensfrom163)+20(2tensfrom324)=8060 (6 tens from 163) + 20 (2 tens from 324) = 8060(6tensfrom163)+20(2tensfrom324)=80

Step 3: Adding the HundredsFinally, add the hundreds place: 100(from163)+300(from324)=400100 (from 163) + 300 (from 324) = 400100(from163)+300(from324)=400

Putting It All Together

Combine all the sums: 400+80+7=487400 + 80 + 7 = 487400+80+7=487

So, when you add 163 and 324, you get: 487487487

Breaking it down:

• 4 in the hundreds place (400)

• 8 in the tens place (80)

• 7 in the ones place (7)
