First, students will learn how to add two-digit numbers by adding the tens and ones separately. For example, \(52 + 43 = 50 + 40 + 2 + 3 = 90 + 5 = 95.\)

Next, students will learn how to add two-digit numbers by making tens. For example, \(53 + 17 = 50 + 20 = 70.\)

After that, lead this investigation. Watch this to learn how. After students have found a couple blotches, get them to notice the numbers must add to the total number of squares in the grid. Conclude by leading this investigation. Watch this and this to learn how.
Next, give your students this challenge:
Make the equation below true by replacing each letter with a unique digit (0-9).
$$BA = A \times A \times A$$Here's the solution:
\(A \times A \times A = A^3.\) Thus, \(BA = A^3.\) Hence, \(BA\) is a two-digit cubed number, ending in \(A.\) By listing the first few cubes, we find \(3^3 = 27\) and \(4^3 = 64\) are the only two-digit cubed numbers, and only \(64 = 4^3\) fits \(BA = A^3.\) In conclusion, our equation is \(64 = 4 \times 4 \times 4.\)
