Adding 2-Digit Numbers

Here we will learn adding 2-digit numbers without regrouping and start working with easy numbers to get acquainted with the addition of two numbers.

We are going to start working with the basic addition of two-digits with everything arranged because this is what we will always do with bigger numbers in future.

Addition of 2-digit Numbers

Let us learn how to add 2-digit numbers


Addition of 2-digit Numbers Using an Abacus:

For example:

1. Let us add 31 and 27 using an abacus.

Addition of 2-digit Numbers Using an Abacus

Step 1: Put the ones beads together.

1    +    7    =    8

Step 2: Put the tens beads together.

3    +    2    =    5

We get the number 58.

Thus, 31 + 27 = 58


2. Let us add 45 and 50 using an abacus.

Adding 2-Digit Numbers Using an Abacus

Step 1: Put the ones beads together. 5 + 0 = 5

Step 2: Put the tens beads together. 4 + 5 = 9

We get the number 95.

Thus, 45 + 50 = 95


How to add two two-digit numbers without carrying?

Let’s follow the steps and start learning adding 2-digit numbers without regrouping with the help of an example.

1. Let us add 22 and 36.




Step I: Write each digit of numbers in place value columns.


Addition of 2-Digit Numbers

Step II: (i) Add the ones and write in the once place.

2 ones + 6 ones = 8 ones.


(ii) Add the tens and write in the tens place.

2 tens + 3 tens = 5 tens.

Addition of Two-Digit Numbers


Answer: 22 + 36 = 58


Addition without carrying:

2. Let us add 72 and 2.

First add the ones and then the tens.

Adding 2-Digit Numbers without Carrying

Thus, 72 + 2 = 74


3. Let us add 32 and 27.

Step 1: Arrange the numbers in tens and ones.

Step 2: Add the ones.

Step 3: Add the tens.

Addition without Carrying
Addition without Carrying

Thus, 32 + 27 = 59


4. 26 + 41

(i) Arrange the numbers vertically so that the tens' place digits and ones' place digits are lined up which means in simple one number should be written above the other number.

Draw a line under the bottom number.

Adding 2-digit Numbers










(ii) Add first the ones' place digits. (6 + 1 = 7).

Adding 2-digit Number












(iii) Then add the tens' place digits. (2 + 4 = 6).

Adding Two-digit Numbers










(iv) The answer of 26 + 41 = 67.


Method II: 26 + 41

   26          =           2 tens + 6 unit → addend

+ 41          =           4 tens + 1 unit → addend

   67          =           6 tens + 7 unit → sum

So, adding 26 + 41 = 67.


Follow the steps of another example of adding 2-digit numbers.

5. 53 + 32

(i) Arrange the numbers vertically so that the tens' place digits and ones' place digits are lined up which means in simple one number should be written above the other number. Draw a line under the bottom number.

Add Two Two-Digit Numbers












(ii) Add first the ones' place digits. (3 + 2 = 5).

Add Two Two-Digit Number Math












(iii) Then add the tens' place digits. (5 + 3 = 8).

Add Two-Digit Number











(iv) The answer of 53 + 32 = 85.


Method II: 53 + 32

   53          =           5 tens + 3 unit → addend

+ 32          =           3 tens + 2 unit → addend

   85          =           8 tens + 5 unit → sum

So, adding 53 + 32 = 85.


Addition of Two Digit Numbers

6. Add 32 and 53

         3 2     =  3 tens + 2 ones   =  30 + 2

      + 5 3     = 5 tens + 3 ones    =  50 + 3 

         8 5     = 8 tens + 5 ones    =  80 + 5 


Method: 

Step I: Add the ones,

           2 ones + 3 ones = 5 ones.

           Write 5 below the ones column.


Step II: Add the tens,

             3 tens + 5 tens = 8 tens.

             Write 8 below the tens column.


We can do the same problem in a short way. Steps remain the same as above.

             T  O

             3   2

          + 5   3 

             8   5 


Therefore, 32 + 53 = 85


7. Let us now consider addition of 3 2-digit numbers 12, 14 and 53



Step I: Write each digit of numbers in place value columns.

Step II: (i) Add the ones and write in the once place.


2 ones + 4 ones + 3 ones = 9 ones.

Addition of Three 2-Digit Numbers


(ii) Add the tens and write in the tens place.


1 ten + 1 ten + 5 tens = 7 tens.

 


Add Three 2-Digit Numbers

Answer: 12 + 14 + 53 = 79


Regrouping

We can write a 2-digit number in different ways by regrouping it into tens and ones.

16 can be written as

Regrouping


Addition with Carrying

8. Add 6 and 4.

Addition with Carrying

Since we cannot have more than 9 beads in the ones rod, we change 10 ones to 1 ten and 0 ones.

Thus, 6 + 4 = 10


9. Add 58 and 34.

Step 1: Arrange the numbers in tens and ones.

Step 2: Now, add the ones.

8 ones + 4 ones = 12 ones

Since 12 is more than 9,

we change it to tens and ones.

12 ones = 1 ten + 2 ones.

Add. Carry over if needed.

Write 2 in the ones place and

carry over 1 ten to the tens column.

Addition with Carrying

Step 3: Then, add the tens.

5 tens + 3 tens = 8 tens

8 tens + 1 ten carried over = 9 tens

Write 9 in the tens place.

Thus, 58 + 34 = 92

Addition with Carrying


Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers 

Without Carrying

10. 16 + 32 + 21 = ?

Step I: Arrange the numbers in tens and ones.

Step II: Add the ones.

Step III: Add the tens.

Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers
Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers
Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers

Thus, 16 + 32 + 21 = 69


Addition of Three Two Digit Numbers

11. Add 12, 31 and 22

         T  O

         1  2      =   1 ten + 2 ones   = 10  +  2

         3  1      =   3 tens + 1 one   = 30  +  1

   +   2  2      =   2 tens + 2 ones   = 20  +  2

        6  5      =   6 tens + 5 ones   = 60  +  5


Method:

Step I: Add the ones,

2 ones + 1 one + 2 ones = 5 ones.

Write 5 below the ones column.


Step II:

Add the tens,

1 ten + 3 tens + 2 tens = 6 tens.

Write 6 below the tens column.


Therefore, 12 + 31 + 22 = 65


Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers 

With Carrying

12. 45 + 17 + 30 = ?

Step I: Arrange the numbers in tens and ones.

Step II: Add the ones.

Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers   With Carrying

Step III: Add the tens.

Addition of More than Two 2-Digit Numbers With Carrying

Thus, 45 + 17 + 30 = 92


Regrouping Tens

140 can be written as


140 can be written as

Regrouping Tens

or 1 hundred + 4 tens = 140

Sometime when we add two 2-digits numbers, we get a 3-digit number.


13. Add 60 and 40.

First put the ones beads together.

0     +     0      =     0

Addition Regrouping Tens

Then, put the tens beads together.

6 tens + 4 tens = 10 tens

Since we cannot have more than 9 beads in the tens rod,

we change 10 tens to 1 hundred.

Thus, 60 + 40 = 100


14. Add 85 and 42.

Step 1: Arrange the number in tens and ones

Step 2: Add the ones. 5 + 2 = 7

Addition of 2-Digit Numbers


Step 3: Add the tens.

Addition of 2-Digit Numbers

8 tens + 4 tens = 12 tens.

Regroup 12 tens into I hundred and 2 tens.

Write I in the hundreds place and 2 in the tens place.

Thus, 85 + 42 = 127


Addition With Carrying Twice

12. Add 69 and 55

Step 1: Arrange the numbers in tens and ones.

Step 2: Add the ones

Step 3: Add the tens.

Step 4: Add the hundreds.

Addition With Carrying Twice
Addition With Carrying Twice
Addition With Carrying Twice

Thus, 69 + 55 = 124
