Build an array of 3 equal addends (2.OA.C.4):
Row 1 will be a ★ entry for 5
Row 2 will be a ★ entry for 5
Row 3 will be a ★ entry for 5
★★★★★ + ★★★★★ + ★★★★★ = 15
Add the following 3 numbers:
5 + 5 + 5
Add up the entries in blue for Column 2
Column 2 → 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
Since 15 is greater than 9, we take the digit farthest to the right of our answer which is 5
We also carry the digit farthest to the left which is 1 for Column 1
Add up the entries in blue for Column 1
We carry a value of 1 from the last step
Column 1 → Bring down the 1 from Column 1 and we are finished
Final Answer
15
