Let's add 256 plus 132 with blocks. Put out both numbers.
Put the same blocks together: hundreds with hundreds, tens with tens, and ones with ones.
3 hundreds, 8 tens, and 8 ones. That's 388!
Your turn! You have 345. Use the buttons to add 223 more.
345 plus 223 is 568. If the ones ever add up to 10 or more, bundle them into a new ten, just like before!
