options: Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900.

Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations. (Explanations may be supported by drawings or objects.)

Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding more than 2 two-digit numbers by making 100. The unit of cents also encourages students to consider how the value could be expressed using dollars, cents, or a combination of the two units. These understandings help students develop fluency.

Activity Synthesis
Revisit a student strategy that shows looking for a way to make 100 first and expresses the total in cents.
Consider asking:
“Who can restate _____'s reasoning in a different way?”
“Who can restate _____'s reasoning using dollars and cents?”
