A total worth checking

Written script

Let’s make something useful. Can we make a stock note that someone else can trust? Today: Join like whole counts using place-value partitioning. Here is our made-up source. Fictional badge studio: 612 blank badges arrive in one parcel and 243 in another. Every badge is counted once. How many badges are available? What do the numbers count? You can show, draw, type, sign or tell an agreeing helper. We will try one way together, then you choose a task. An invented drawing archive has 421 cards plus 136 new cards. Invite the partition before the total: 400 + 100, 20 + 30, 1 + 6, then 557 cards. Ask why units can be joined. Your turn can be one useful part: For 304 + 152, give a total and one way to check its parts. Keep, change, pause or finish. You do not have to read aloud, handle objects or hurry.
