Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Knowledge of number facts to 20 can support calculation across the 100 boundary.
  2. If 8 plus 7 is equal to 15 then 98 plus 7 is equal to 90 plus 15 which equals 105
  3. Knowledge of place value can help when counting forwards across the 100 boundary.

Keywords

  • Bridging - A strategy which uses addition or subtraction to cross a number boundary.

  • Partition - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

Common misconception

Pupils may not partition numbers in efficient ways to add and subtract them.

Encourage pupils to add or subtract to make 100 (e.g. when calculating 103-7, subtract 3 to equal 100, then subtract 4 to equal 96).

Pupils will need to have a good grasp of number pairs that total 10 to access the learning in this lesson. Base 10 blocks may be useful for this lesson, although pupils will need to use this flexibly alongside the images provided.
