COMMON CORE Solution:

53 + 19

Draw and label Tens disks
: (10) (10) (10) (10) (10) :

Draw and label Ones disks
: (1) (1) (1) :

Draw and label Tens Disks
: (10) :

Draw and label Ones disks
: (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1

Add Ones disks (count)
: (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) + (1) (1) (1) :
= 12

Add Tens disks (count)
: (10) (10) (10) (10) (10) + (10) :
= 60

60+12=72

I did it!
