Best Answer

The partial sums method is a way to do addition in which you add up each place value separately, then add the results together. For instance, if you were adding 567 and 483, you would first add 500 and 400, then 60 and 80, then 7 and 3. You would then add the results, 900, 140, and 10, to get the answer, 1,050.
