What this skill is

Adding three-digit numbers with regrouping in one or both columns.

When it comes up: Third grade.

The mistake to watch for

Regrouping the ones correctly, then forgetting the carried digit when the tens also cross ten.

How to help

Write the carried digit above the column before adding, not after. It is easy to forget a number held only in the head.

Next: Three-digit subtraction.

A worked example

Try 346 + 278. Ones: 6 + 8 = 14, write 4 and carry 1 ten. Tens: 4 + 7 + 1 = 12, write 2 and carry 1 hundred. Hundreds: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6. The answer is 624.

Words to know

regroup

One of the ten number symbols 0 to 9. The number 47 has two digits.
