Adding 2-digit numbers without carry is simple: add the tens, add the ones, then combine! 23 + 14 = (20+10) + (3+4) = 30 + 7 = 37. No carrying needed when ones digits add to less than 10. Practice with our quiz above!

What is Adding 2-Digit Numbers Without Carry?

Adding 2-digit numbers without carry (also called no regrouping) means when you add the ones digits, the sum is less than 10, and when you add the tens digits, the sum is less than 10. No need to carry over any numbers!

How to Master Adding 2-Digit Numbers Without Carry Step by Step

Step 1: Add the tens digits together (e.g., in 34 + 23, add 30 + 20 = 50)

Step 2: Add the ones digits together (4 + 3 = 7)

Step 3: Combine your answers (50 + 7 = 57)

✓ That’s it! 34 + 23 = 57

Examples of Adding 2-Digit Numbers Without Carry

21 + 34 = ?

Tens: 20 + 30 = 50 | Ones: 1 + 4 = 5 | Total: 50 + 5 = 55

43 + 25 = ?

Tens: 40 + 20 = 60 | Ones: 3 + 5 = 8 | Total: 60 + 8 = 68

52 + 36 = ?

Tens: 50 + 30 = 80 | Ones: 2 + 6 = 8 | Total: 80 + 8 = 88

Adding 2-Digit Numbers Without Carry – Basic Concepts

The key rule: Both the ones digits (0-9) and tens digits (1-9) must add to less than 10. This means no digit sum reaches 10 or more, so no carrying is needed. Perfect for beginners!

Advanced Adding 2-Digit Numbers Without Carry Techniques

  • Add tens first, then ones – builds mental math skills
  • Use place value understanding: 32 = 30 + 2
  • Practice with numbers where ones digits are small (0-4)
  • Visualize with base-10 blocks for better understanding

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between with carry and without carry?
A: Without carry means the ones digits add to less than 10 (like 3+4=7). With carry means they add to 10 or more (like 8+5=13), so you need to carry the 1 to the tens column.
Q: Why learn adding 2-digit numbers without carry first?
A: It builds understanding of place value without the complexity of regrouping. Once you’re comfortable here, carrying becomes much easier to understand!
Q: How can I practice adding 2-digit numbers without carry?
A: Use our random quiz daily, practice with flashcards, use base-10 blocks, and try real-world examples like adding prices at the store.
