This workbook is aligned with common core standards and can be a valuable companion for students to understand and master addition up to 10,000. Kids will use place value to help them solve these larger addition problems. For example, if they're given 4678 + 3211 to solve, they need to understand the significance of each digit in these numbers to add them correctly.

Students learn to add multi-digit numbers using column addition. They will break down numbers by ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands and add them vertically. Puzzles and word problems help students understand how to use math in real-world scenarios.

Kids will get practice carrying over numbers. They need to understand and apply the technique of carrying over numbers when the sum in one column exceeds 9. The ultimate goal is not just to give them the skill to crunch numbers but also to instill a deeper understanding of how addition works, especially as the values of the numbers they deal with increase. At the third-grade and higher levels, students should not only be able to perform these additions accurately but also with increasing speed and fluency.
