Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When subtracting multiples of ten from a two-digit number, the tens digit changes but the ones digit stays the same.
  2. We can use number facts to help us subtract multiples of ten from a two-digit number.

Keywords

  • Multiples of ten - The numbers that are said when we count on in tens from zero. Multiples of ten always have a ones digit of zero.

  • Recombine - To add the parts of a number gained through partitioning the whole to reach the whole again.

Common misconception

Children may automatically count back in tens to subtract a multiple of ten.

Discuss efficiency and compare different methods. Use practical equipment to draw attention to the relationship between adding multiples of ten in two-digit numbers and the known facts they already possess.

When recording the steps followed when subtracting, avoiding equations such as 56 - 20 = 50 + 6 - 20 = 30 + 6 = 36. At this stage, using both addition and subtraction signs when adding will not be familiar to the children and could confuse and distract from the focus of the equation.

50 + 30 = 80

Correct Answer:4 + 5 = 9 ,40 + 50 = 90

40 + 50 = 90

Q4.
What could we do to help solve this equation? 32 + 50 =
Correct answer: Add 3 tens and 5 tens
Add 3 tens and 2 tens
Add 2 tens and 5 tens
Q5.
Which of these equations will have the same sum as 54 + 40 = ?
Correct answer: 40 + 54 =
Correct answer: 44 + 50 =
45 + 40 =
Q6.
33 + 40 =
Correct Answer: 73
