Addition With Regrouping Song

Five hundred ninety-seven ants above ground Plus nine hundred eleven ants underground Seven plus one is eight; nine plus one is ten Each one of them is my special insect friend Zero stays on the floor, the hundred heads next door The sum is getting close, so I add one once more One plus five is six, plus nine is fifteen My little brother thinks they're a good source of protein We mathematicians Add with precision Regrouping tens or hundreds when We find double digits in addition One-hundred eighty-nine hens are inside And nine-hundred eighty-five hens are outside To find out how many hens are in the coop We gotta know how to add and regroup Nine and five is fourteen Write a four, the 10 carries One plus eight is nine, plus eight is seventeen Keep the seven, the hundred regroups Two plus nine is eleven, cock-a-doodle-doo We mathematicians Add with precision Regrouping tens or hundreds when We find double digits in addition Sometimes we make errors, it's inevitable But check your work and it'll be indubitable The best way to check your addition Is by subtraction, the inverse operation Take either addend And subtract from the sum If you get the other addend Your work is done When presented with a triple digit problem Numberockers always check after we solve them We mathematicians Add with precision Regrouping tens or hundreds when We find double digits in addition We mathematicians Add with precision Regrouping tens or hundreds when We find double digits in addition
