As a PP noted, it's now called regrouping.  Get a Singapore Math book.  It explains it all, or you can just google it.  As the PP noted, it is pretty much the same thing.

This is a website recommended by an mcps 2nd grade math teacher.  If you look at how they add, they use carry the over, which they simply call "regrouping".

The below site is interesting... shows all the different ways to teach addition. Note the "partial sums" method.  It's basically regrouping, or carrying the one, but slightly expanded.

Yep.  When you see your kid come home with this you (or your kid) can usually find a video on Youtube to show you how to explain it to them - assuming they don't "get it" at school.  Many kids do.
