addition of three digit numbers with carrying

As an interactive competition that encourages students and learners of Grade 2 to learn and build concepts in their minds, this quiz helps to lay a foundation for making additional sums of larger numbers. Much like other math concepts, this also builds on the idea of mental math. This allows you to solve sums in your head, strengthening your ability to perform sums quickly. As the quiz begins, the learners are asked to add two sets of 3 digit numbers. Since these are 3 digit numbers, it is clear that the sum will be larger. This means that learners are required to make full use of previously learned concepts, such as carrying numbers, to find the solutions including other tricks like finding patterns. Once the students have a firm grasp of making additional sums in their heads, it becomes much less of a task to carry that concept in other mathematical equations. For example, in an equation asking students to add 550 with 150, students know that the last digit will remain the same. They can quickly move on to adding 5 with 5, carrying the 1 from the 10, and knowing that 5 plus 5 is 10. Later, they just add the carried number. This shows evidence that students learned how to do mental math.
