3.2Algorithms for Whole-Number Addition and Subtraction

3.2.1.Vocabulary

3.2.1.1.algorithm – a systematic procedure used to accomplish an operation

3.2.1.2.base-ten blocks – units = centimeter cubes; long = 10 cm x 1 cm x 1cm square prism or 10 units; flat = 10 cm x 10 cm x 1 cm rectangular prism, 10 longs, or 100 units

Denominate numbers

Using denominate numbers, the addition problem 4567 + 319 + 208 = ? becomes:

1 thousand2 tens

4 thousands 5 hundreds6 tens7 ones

3 hundreds1 ten9 ones

+2 hundreds0 tens 8 ones

5 thousands0 hundreds9 tens4 ones

MUST interpret this method, so final answer is: 5094

R  L; Emphasis on place value (place value IS explicit in this method)

Expanded notation

The exercise 2981 + 306 + 247 = ? would be expanded as:

1000 100 10

2000 +900 +80 +1

300 +0 +6

+ 200 + 40 +7

3000 +500 + 30 +4
