➕ Topic Summary
Adding 2-digit and 1-digit numbers without carrying is a fundamental skill in mathematics. It involves adding the ones place of both numbers together. Since there's no carrying, the sum of the ones place will always be less than 10. This makes it a straightforward and easy process.
For example, if we have $23 + 5$, we add the 3 (from 23) and the 5 together, which equals 8. Then we keep the tens place (2) the same. So, $23 + 5 = 28$. This helps build a strong foundation for more complex addition later on.

✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks
Complete the following paragraph with the correct words.
When adding a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number without __________, we focus on the __________ place. The number $32 + 7$ means we add 2 and 7, which equals 9. The __________ place remains the same. Therefore, $32 + 7 = 39$. This __________ is a simple way to perform addition.
