Today, our I can statement says, "I can add two digit numbers within 100." Let's take a look at this problem, 17 plus 36. I wonder if there's more than one way that we can solve this.

I can add two-digit numbers and find matching equations. This is going to be great. Let's go check it out. My friends, Ming and Keshawn shared their answer for the sum of five plus 34.

To add two-digit numbers, you need to think about place value. You start by adding up how many ones you have. If you have more than 10 ones, you can put a group of ten into the tens column.

To add a one-digit number to a two-digit number, start with the bigger number and count forwards with the smaller number. 43 (larger number) + 8 (smaller number) = 51.
