Question

Which option correctly represents the given equation along with its answer?
26 + 28 = __

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Say:
Let us find the answer using rods and units.

Steps:

• 26 is broken down into 2 Tens and 6 Ones, represented by 2 rods and 6 units.
• 28 is broken down into 2 Tens and 8 Ones, represented by 2 rods and 8 units.
• First, add the Ones, i.e., 6 + 8 = 14.
• Next, add the Tens, 20 + 20 = 40.
• Further, regroup and add the Tens and Ones, i.e., 40 + 14 = 54, represented by 5 rods and 4 units.
• Hence, option A is correct.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to break down the numbers and draw rods and units to solve the equation as shown.
