47 + 35
Let's add forty-seven plus thirty-five.
We stack them in columns — ones with ones, tens with tens.
Start with the ones column. What is seven plus five?
Twelve! But twelve is too big to fit in one place. We have to regroup.
Twelve is one ten and two ones. Write the two in the ones place.
Now carry the one ten up to the top of the tens column.
Now add the tens. One plus four plus three.
That makes eight tens.
Write eight in the tens place.
Forty-seven plus thirty-five is eighty-two. Nice regrouping!
