Lesson details
Key learning points
- Unitising and known facts help you to add and subtract multiples of ten
- If 3 + 2 is equal to 5 then 3 tens + 2 tens is equal to 5 tens which is equal to 50
- If 5 - 2 is equal to 3 then 5 tens subtract 2 tens is equal to 3 tens which is equal to 30
Keywords
Add - Finding the total, or sum, by combining two or more numbers.
Subtract - Taking one number away from another.
Multiple of ten - Groups of ten.
Common misconception
Children may rely on counting in tens rather than using known facts to add and subtract multiples of ten.
Encourage children to look for patterns as they add and subtract multiples of ten. Compare to the single-digit facts they know. Make a list of known facts to refer to.
