Let's solve the
"Drops of Addition" worksheet step by step.
---
🌧️ Instructions Recap:
- Write the numbers from the raindrops into the boxes.
- Add the two 2-digit numbers together
without regrouping (meaning no carrying over digits).
- Find the total for each pair.
We’ll go through each addition problem one by one.

🔹 Problem 1:
Raindrops:
43 and
52
```
43
+ 52
----
```
Add:
- Ones place: 3 + 2 = 5
- Tens place: 4 + 5 = 9
✔ Total: 95
---
🔹 Problem 2:
Raindrops:
16 and
22
```
16
+ 22
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 6 + 2 = 8
- Tens: 1 + 2 = 3
✔ Total: 38
---
🔹 Problem 3:
Raindrops:
60 and
24
```
60
+ 24
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 0 + 4 = 4
- Tens: 6 + 2 = 8
✔ Total: 84
---
🔹 Problem 4:
Raindrops:
25 and
74
```
25
+ 74
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 5 + 4 = 9
- Tens: 2 + 7 = 9
✔ Total: 99
---
🔹 Problem 5:
Raindrops:
31 and
37
```
31
+ 37
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 1 + 7 = 8
- Tens: 3 + 3 = 6
✔ Total: 68
---
🔹 Problem 6:
Raindrops:
82 and
6
Wait! One number is a
1-digit number (6). But the instruction says "2-digit addition". Let’s check.
But note:
6 can be written as
06, so we treat it as:
```
82
+ 06
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 2 + 6 = 8
- Tens: 8 + 0 = 8
✔ Total: 88
(No regrouping needed — this works.)
---
🔹 Problem 7:
Raindrops:
12 and
15
```
12
+ 15
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 2 + 5 = 7
- Tens: 1 + 1 = 2
✔ Total: 27
---
🔹 Problem 8:
Raindrops:
24 and
50
```
24
+ 50
----
```
Add:
- Ones: 4 + 0 = 4
- Tens: 2 + 5 = 7
✔ Total: 74
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Problem | Numbers Added | Total |
|--------|----------------|-------|
| 1 | 43 + 52 | 95 |
| 2 | 16 + 22 | 38 |
| 3 | 60 + 24 | 84 |
| 4 | 25 + 74 | 99 |
| 5 | 31 + 37 | 68 |
| 6 | 82 + 6 | 88 |
| 7 | 12 + 15 | 27 |
| 8 | 24 + 50 | 74 |

📝 How to Fill in the Worksheet:
For each box, write the numbers like this:
Example for
43 + 52:
```
4 3
+ 5 2
-----
9 5
```
So fill the boxes with:
- Top row: 4 and 3
- Bottom row: 5 and 2
- Answer row: 9 and 5
Repeat this format for all problems.
