Use Place Value Counters to add two 3-digit numbers.
Make both numbers on the grid
2. Add up the ones and exchange 10 ones for one 10.
3. Add up the rest of the columns, exchanging the 10 counters from one column for the next place value column until every column has been added.
This can also be done with dienes to help children clearly see that 10 ones equal 1 ten and 10 tens equal 100.
Ensure that children clearly show the exchange below the addition.
