Unit focus

  • Place value lets us split numbers into hundreds, tens and ones, regroup equal values and choose efficient addition or subtraction strategies.
  • Use this routine: Estimate → Partition → Regroup → Calculate → Check with inverse.
  • Watch for regrouping without equal exchange: Trade 10 ones for 1 ten or 10 tens for 1 hundred.
