Compensation Method for Adding 2-Digit Numbers

This video tutorial covers the concept of compensation in two-digit addition. It explains how to adjust numbers to make addition easier by creating tens. Several examples, including 28 + 15 and 37 + 18, demonstrate this method. The video also discusses using tens numbers and ten frames as visual aids. Two word problems, one about bird houses and another about floor tiles, are solved using compensation. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next topic, breaking apart addends as tens and ones.

What does compensation mean in the context of addition?

• Multiplying numbers for quicker calculation

• Adding large numbers without simplification

• Adjusting numbers to simplify addition

• Subtracting numbers instead of adding
