Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When the ones digits in an equation sum to ten, the sum in the equation will always be a multiple of ten.
  2. When subtracting a one-digit number from a multiple of ten, number bonds to ten can be used.
  3. The number being subtracted and the ones digit in the answer will be a number bond to ten.

Keywords

  • Sum - The result of adding two or more numbers

  • Difference - The result of subtracting one number from another. How much one number differs from another.

Common misconception

When subtracting, children may use their number bonds to ten to find the correct ones digit, but may forget to consider the previous multiple of ten, e.g. say 40-2=48

Encourage children to use their knowledge of decades to estimate (e.g. I know 40-2 will be in the thirties), then prove it using representations that highlight the tens structure, e.g. one hundred squares, ten frames and number lines.

Once children are confident with continuing and creating their own patterns, encourage them to use these patterns to develop efficient ways of working with tasks such as 'I know that 1 + 9 = 10, so I also know that....'

Q2.
Which known fact would you use to solve this problem? Alex’s packet of seeds weighed 67 g and Sam’s weighed 4 g less. What did Sam’s packet of seeds weigh?
Correct answer: 7 − 4 = 3
6 − 4 = 2
7 − 6 = 1
Q3.
Which equation could represent the problem shown? Alex spent 46 p and Sam spent 49 p. Use the equation to work out the difference between the amounts they spent.
Correct answer: 46 + ___= 49
Correct answer: 49 − ___ = 46
46 + 49 = ___

Q1.
Alex represents the equation 34 + 6 = ___ Which known fact could he use to solve this efficiently?
5 + 5 = 10
Correct answer: 4 + 6 = 10
7 + 3 = 10
8 + 2 = 10

70
50
Correct answer: 80
Q4.
Which equation would be next in this pattern? 63 + 7 = 70, 73 + 7 = 80, 83 + 7 = 90 ...
Correct answer: 93 + 7 = 100
53 + 7 = 60
83 + 8 = 100
Q5.
Which equation would be next in this pattern? 41 + 9 = 50, 42 + 8 = 50, 43 + 7 = 50 ...
53 + 7 = 50
44 + 7 = 50
Correct answer: 44 + 6 = 50
Q6.
In my equation, I subtracted a number with a ones digit of 9 from a multiple of ten. How many ones are there in the difference? one.
Correct Answer: 1, one
