The “add by making a 100” method is a strategy for adding two-digit numbers that can result in easier mental math calculations.
Example:
97 + 68 can be calculated as 97 + 3 + 65 = 165
196 + 77 can be calculated as 196 + 4 + 73 = 273
Benefits of Adding by Making a 100:
Simplifies Calculations: By “shifting” one number closer to a hundred, you often end up with easier additions for the remaining digits.
Mental Math Friendly: This method often leads to smaller numbers to add in your head, making it ideal for mental math calculations.
Place Value Understanding: It reinforces the concept of place value by demonstrating how manipulation within and across place values affects the sum.
