Activity

* Divide the class into 2 groups and give 100 sticks (bundles of 10 sticks and few single sticks) to each group.

* Teacher shall give two numbers to add. For example, 42 and 56

* The first group shall take 40 + 2 sticks and the second group shall take 50 + 6 sticks.

* Both the groups shall combine the sticks. Count the bundles of sticks and single sticks separately and find the total.

* Teacher can instruct the groups to add the single sticks first, write the number below the ones place and then add the bundle of sticks and write the number below the tens place.
