Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Tens numbers can be added to or subtracted from a multiple of ten.
  2. When you add a tens number to a multiple of ten the tens number increases.
  3. When you subtract a tens number from a multiple of ten the tens number decreases.
  4. If 3 + 1 is equal to 4 then 3 tens + 1 ten is equal to 4 tens which is equal to 40
  5. If 4 - 1 is equal to 3 then 4 tens subtract 1 ten is equal to 3 tens which is equal to 30

Keywords

  • Add - To find the total, or sum, by combining two or more parts (addends), or to increase an amount by adding another.

  • Plus - To find the total, or sum, by combining two or more parts (addends), or to increase an amount by adding another.

  • Subtract - To partition one part from another (the subtrahend from the difference), or to decrease an amount by taking an amount away.

  • Minus - To partition one part from another (the subtrahend from the difference), or to decrease an amount by taking an amount away.

Common misconception

Children may use counting on and back strategies instead of application of known facts and therefore be inefficient when adding and subtracting multiples of 10

Use representations to make clear links when unitising e.g. adding 2 to 3 and then adding 2 groups of 10 to 3 groups of 10, to support children in making the link. Children should be increasingly fluent in addition and subtraction within 10

Take time in this lesson to provide practical examples to support the concept of unitising, such as bundles of 10 straws, packets of 10 pens or pencils or sticks of 10 cubes.

6 tens subtract 4 tens =
6 tens add 2 tens =
Correct answer: 6 tens subtract 2 tens =
Q3.
Match the statements.
Correct Answer:I know that 4 plus 2 is equal to 6,so 4 tens plus 2 tens is equal to 6 tens.

so 4 tens plus 2 tens is equal to 6 tens.

Correct Answer:I know that 5 plus 3 is equal to 8,so 5 tens plus 3 tens is equal to 8 tens.

so 5 tens plus 3 tens is equal to 8 tens.

Correct Answer:I know that 2 plus 5 is equal to 7,so 2 tens plus 5 tens is equal to 7 tens.

so 2 tens plus 5 tens is equal to 7 tens.
