I can add two-digit numbers when the sum crosses the tens boundary

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When adding two-digit numbers that cross the tens boundary, both addends can be partitioned, then recombined.
  2. When adding two-digit numbers that cross the tens boundary, one addend can be partitioned. This is more efficient.
  3. A number line can be used to find a missing addend when the tens boundary is crossed.

Common misconception

If children partition both addends when addition involves bridging 10, they may forget to add the extra 10 made when combining the ones.

Encourage children to consider whether an addition will bridge 10 before solving and if so, partition only one addend to reduce the number of steps required, increasing efficiency.

Keywords

  • Partition - To split a whole up into parts; a piece or section of a whole.
