Adding Big Numbers Word Problems

4th Grade25 minutes

Learning Objective

I can solve 7-digit addition word problems with regrouping.

Key Concepts

Regrouping is changing the way an amount is grouped while keeping the total value the same.

The addition algorithm is a step-by-step process for adding multi-digit numbers, lining up the addends in place value order.

When using the subtraction algorithm, keep regrouping as needed, subtracting, and moving to the next place until you find the difference.
