Rohan and his friends are preparing garlands to decorate their homes for a celebration. Each garland is made of exactly $10$ flowers.
Based on the number of garlands and loose flowers each child has, we can find the total number of flowers:
To find the total flowers used by two friends together, we add their individual counts:
We can perform addition visually using a bead string called a ginladi or by jumping forward on a number line.
Jumping on a number line makes addition easier without counting individual beads:
When adding two-digit numbers, we sometimes get more than $9$ ones. We must regroup $10$ ones into $1$ ten.
Mahi has $2$ tens and $3$ ones ($23$ blocks). Isha has $3$ tens and $8$ ones ($38$ blocks).
To add $36 + 47$:
Subtraction is the process of taking away a number of items from a group to find how many are left.
When the ones digit of the number being subtracted is larger than the ones digit of the starting number, we must open a ten (borrow) and convert it into $10$ ones.
Jyoti has $46$ flowers ($4$ garlands of $10$ and $6$ loose flowers). She wants to give $18$ flowers to her mother.
Numbers share relationships that can be represented using fact families and mathematical pyramids.
A fact family shows how three numbers are related through addition and subtraction:
