#math/mental In **three digit addition** you process from left to right and sequentially add each place value of the second number in a loop. Consider $342+581$. Read aloud, this becomes $ \begin{align} 342+\textcolor{#1f9d57}{5}81 & \text{ equals} \\ 842+\textcolor{#1f9d57}{8}1 & \text{ equals} \\ 922+\textcolor{#1f9d57}{1} & \text{ equals} \\ 923& \end{align} $
