Adding Two Digit Numbers

"I just don't get this, Mr. Moore," said Cole.


"You don't get what?" asked Mr. Moore, Cole's teacher.


"I don't get how to add these big numbers!" said Cole. "When I read, I start on the left side of the page and read to the right side. When I write, I start on the left side and go to the right side. But now when I add these big numbers, I can't start on the left side! I have to start on the right side. If you ask me, the right side is the WRONG side! And I don't get why I have to write a little number up on top sometimes- but not all the time!"
