There are addition problems for homework.  I wanted to give some examples of the way we have been solving them in class.  The emphasis is on place value.
2 Digit Addition
A strategy we use is "breaking the numbers apart"
For example:  12 + 24
Add the tens first  10 + 20 = 30
Then add the ones  2 + 4 = 6
Add both sums together  30 + 6 = 36
3 Digit Addition
You can use the same strategy "breaking numbers apart"
For example: 327 + 112
Add the hundreds first  300 + 100 = 400
Add the tens next  20 + 10 = 30
Add the ones  7 + 2 = 9
Add all three sums together 400 + 30 + 9 = 439
*You can also use pictures to represent these problems
