Adding and Thinking From Left to Right!

Add a number from left to right! $1,248 + $6,921 becomes 7000 + 1100 + 60 + 9 or $8169 (read as 81 hundred sixty-nine dollars) Place value-place value-place value.................................... Start with the place value that has the most value. If you make a mistake, it will likely be in a lower place value and not in a higher place value. Would you rather be off by a few bucks or a few thousand bucks?

Peace,
