What Is Vertical Form in Math?
Vertical form in math, also called stacked addition, is when numbers are lined up in columns, making it easier for kids to add them step by step. Instead of adding left to right, like in a sentence, kids add vertically—one column at a time, starting with the ones place. This method builds strong number sense and is a must-learn skill for 1st-grade math.
