My goal is to ensure PST can think flexibly in mathematics. I can wait to see their thinking.

    I broke 256 into 200 + 56.
    144 + 200 = 344
    344 + 56 = 400

    150 + 250
    150 + 250 = 400

    150 + 256
    I changed 256 to 250 to make it easier.
    150 + 250 = 400, then I added the extra 6.
    400 + 6 = 406

    144 + 260
    I saw this as similar to 150 + 260, but 6 less.
    150 + 260 = 410
    410 - 6 = 404

    144 + 256 = (100 + 44) + (200 + 56)
    = (100 + 200) + (44 + 56)
    = 300 + 100
    = 400

    150 + 250

    150 + 250 = (100 + 50) + (200 + 50)
    = (100 + 200) + (50 + 50)
    = 300 + 100
    = 400

    150 + 256

    150 + 256 = 150 + (250 + 6)
    = (150 + 250) + 6
    = 400 + 6
    = 406

    144 + 260

    144 + 260 = (140 + 4) + (260)
    = (140 + 260) + 4
    = 400 + 4
    = 404

    So:

    144 + 256 = 400

    150 + 250 = 400

    150 + 256 = 406

    144 + 260 = 404

    For 144+25, I would solve it by doing this:
    40+20=60, then take the 100 from 144 and solve it like this:
    60 +100= 160. Then add the 4 and 5 which equals 9. 160+9= 169.

    For 150 + 250, I would solve it by doing this:
    50+50=100, then add 100+ 200=300.
    100+300=400

    For 150 + 256, I would solve this by doing this:
    50+50=100
    100+200=300
    300+100=400
    400+6=406

    For 144 + 260, I would solve it by doing this:
    40+60=100
    100+200= 300
    300+100=400
    Add the 4 from 144
    400+4=404

    I turned 144 into 140 and turned 256 into 260. 140 plus 260 equals to 400. I subtracted four from 144 and added four to 256. Which will equal to 400.

    150 + 250=400
    100 plus 50 equals to 150 and 200 plus 50 equals to 250. So, 100 plus 200 equals 300 plus 50 plus 50 adds up to 100. Therefore, 300 plus 100 equals to 400.


    150 + 256=406
    100 plus 50 equals to 150. 200 plus 60 equals to 260. 150 plus 260 equals to 410, take away four and the answer is 406.


    144 + 260=404
    100 plus 40 equals to 140. 200 plus 50 equals to 250. So, 140 plus 250 equals to 390 plus 10, plus 4 equals to 404.

  11. I line up the ones, ten and hundreds under one another and add each starting from the ones column. i put the biggest number on top and add. I realized that the first two problems equal the same because they took 6 from 256 and added it to 144.

      Let’s round one number to make this easier.
      144 is close to 150, so:
      150 + 256 = 406
      But we added 6 extra (because 144 is 6 less than 150), so:
      406 - 6 = 400
      In conclusion, the addition of 144 and 256 is equal to 400.

      2. 150 + 250
      Both numbers have tens in them which are 5 tens (50) and 5 tens (50)
      150 + 250 = 400
      In conclusion, the addition of 150 and 250 is equal to 400.

      3. 150 + 256
      Break apart 256: 250 + 6
      150 + 250 = 400
      Then add 6 more:
      400 + 6 = 406
      In conclusion, the addition of 150 and 256 is equal to 406.

      4. 144 + 260
      Break apart 144 which will be
      140 + 4 = 144
      (140 + 260) + 4 = 400 + 4 = 404
      In conclusion, the addition of 144 and 260 is equal to 404.
