What is regrouping?

Our class has been learning a lot about numbers this year!! These are some of the things the kids have learned.

• Some numbers are odd and some are even
• Some numbers have patterns
• Some numbers are greater and some are less
• Sometimes the ones column is hiding a group of ten
• Some numbers have more than one digit
• Sometimes the tens column is hiding a group of hundreds
• Sometimes the hundreds column might be hiding a group of thousands
• you can take numbers apart
• you can add or put numbers together
• numbers can be in fact families

This month we are going to think some more about numbers and how they are related. We are going to learn about regrouping. Students are going to use beans to represent number groups.




1.  Represent with beans 3 tens and 15 ones.

2. Represent with beans 2 tens and 11 ones.

3. Represent with beans 6 tens and 19 ones.

What we learned about regrouping.

• Sometimes a ten is hiding in the ones
• If you want to make counting tens and ones easier, regroup the numbers
• A hundred could be hiding in the tens.
