Solve Problems Involving Addition and Subtraction of Larger Numbers

When solving problems with larger numbers, it's important to break the numbers down into manageable parts. You can use place value to add and subtract step by step.

Steps for Addition and Subtraction of Larger Numbers:

1. Break down the numbers: Separate the numbers into their place values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.).
2. Add or subtract step by step: Start from the rightmost digits (ones place) and move left, carrying over or borrowing when needed.
3. Check your work: After solving, double-check each step to make sure the calculations are correct.

Example:

Here is an example of an addition problem:

Problem: Add 487 + 259.

Solution:
Start with the ones place: 7 + 9 = 16 (write 6, carry over 1).
Next, add the tens place: 8 + 5 = 13, plus 1 carried over = 14 (write 4, carry over 1).
Finally, add the hundreds place: 4 + 2 = 6, plus 1 carried over = 7.
So, 487 + 259 = 746.
