Adding Big Numbers Made Easy
Welcome to the exciting world of three-digit addition!
Adding big numbers is just like adding smaller numbers, but with an extra digit to make it more fun!
Remember to add from right to left (ones place first), and don't forget to carry over when needed.
How to Add Three-Digit Numbers
1️⃣ Line them up: Write numbers one above the other
2️⃣ Add right to left: Start with ones place, then tens, then hundreds
3️⃣ Carry over: If a column adds to 10 or more, carry the extra to the next column

Parent Tips 🌟
- Use real objects: Practice with coins, buttons, or cereal pieces to make addition tangible.
- Make it a game: Create addition challenges with small rewards for correct answers.
- Break it down: If your child struggles, break the problem into smaller parts (add hundreds first, then tens, then ones).
