Understanding the Standard Algorithm for Addition

The video tutorial explains how to add large numbers using the standard algorithm. It covers aligning numbers by place value, adding ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and trading values when necessary. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the process.

What is the primary benefit of using the standard algorithm for addition?

• It is useful for adding large numbers.

• It helps in multiplying numbers.

• It simplifies subtraction.

• It is only useful for small numbers.

What is the first step in using the standard algorithm for addition?

• Line up the numbers

• Subtract the ones

• Add the thousands

• Add the hundreds

When aligning numbers for addition, which place should you start with?

• Thousands place

• Ones place

• Hundreds place

• Tens place

Why is it important to line up the digits vertically when adding?

• To make the numbers look neat

• To ensure correct addition of each place value

• To make subtraction easier

• To avoid using a calculator

What do you do if the sum of the ones place is greater than 9?

• Add it to the tens place

• Ignore the extra value

• Multiply it by 10

• Subtract it from the tens place

What is the purpose of trading ten ones for one ten in the standard algorithm?

• To avoid using a calculator

• To make multiplication easier

• To ensure correct addition

• To simplify subtraction

What is the sum of 6 ones and 7 ones?

• 13

• 12

• 11

• 14

In the standard algorithm, what happens to the 'extra' value when adding the tens place?

• It is added to the hundreds place

• It is subtracted from the hundreds place

• It is ignored

• It is divided by 10

How many tens are traded for an extra hundred in the standard algorithm?

• 5 tens

• 20 tens

• 15 tens

• 10 tens

What is the sum of 9 tens and 5 tens?

• 13 tens

• 15 tens

• 14 tens

• 16 tens
