# Making 100 Many Ways

There are lots of ways to make the same sum.

**Show three different ways to make 47 + 23. Use pictures, numbers, or words. Then check your answer with subtraction ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29852), [Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29847)).**

### Where to start:
- Can you use tens and ones to make 47 + 23?
- What if you add the tens first, then the ones?
- Draw base-ten blocks. Can you group them a different way?
- How do you know your three ways all give the same sum?

### Stretch:
Add a third number to your equation, like 47 + 23 + 10. Does the order you add them in change the sum? Explain how you know ([Knowledge](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/29846)).
