2.4  Modeling Addition and Subtraction with Regrouping

Objective

Understand addition and subtraction with regrouping using concept models and expanded algorithms.

Overview

It is one thing to understand the concept of addition and subtraction of single digit whole numbers and integers.  Keeping track of the complexities of these operations when working with large numbers is a different matter.  For that, we need a concept model to illustrate the place value system of numeration and an expanded algorithm to keep track of details.
