Name four different strategies we have learned to do mental addition 

(Hint: two strategies have to do with adding 100 and the other two don't) 

1. add the tens then add the ones

2. add (more) tens then subtract the extra ones 

------------------------------------------------------

1. add (one) 100 then subtract the extra ones 

2. add the hundreds then subtract the extra ones 

-----

Tip: Only change the second number and keep the first number the same.
