🎯 Concept:
Numbers near different bases (100, 1000)
Students, we don’t add numbers…
👉 We see how far they are from a base.”

🧩 Practice:
- 97 + 103

🎓 TUESDAY
🔹 Topic: Addition Far from Base
🎯 Concept:
👉 Convert to nearest base (adjust mentally)
“If numbers are far… bring them closer.”

- 723 + 489
🧩 Practice:
- 654 + 378

👉 (Split method)
500 + 300 = 800
42 + 68 = 110
👉 Final = 910
