Basics on the topic Adding Using a Chart — Let's Practice

We're diving into the world of adding using a hundreds chart. This method is a great way to visualize addition and make counting easier. Get your paper and pencils ready because today, we're going to practice this together!

What Is a Hundreds Chart?

A hundreds chart is organized with numbers one through one hundred in columns and rows. When you read a hundreds chart, you read it like a book, from left to right, starting from the top. This visual tool helps us see how numbers increase and assists with adding numbers.

Here are the steps to tackle addition using a hundreds chart:

Step # Action
1 Find the larger addend, or number, on the chart.
2 Count up the second addend or number.
3 The number you land on is the sum, or answer.
4 Check your answer to ensure it makes sense with the problem.

Let's practice understanding this method with a few examples.
