LESSON 5 Addition with Larger Numbers

Nikia and Maruta work at the TIMS Candy Company. On Monday, Nikia made 678 Chocos. Maruta made 267 Chocos. They used base-ten pieces to help find the amount of candy they made altogether.

First they showed each number with base-ten pieces:

Nikia used a base-ten recording sheet to record their work with the pieces. Tom looked at her work.
  1. Use the Fewest Pieces Rule to find the total number of Chocos Nikia and Maruta made.

    Solve the problems on the Adding with Base-Ten Pieces pages in the Student Activity Book.
