Cross the hundreds boundary when adding and subtracting any 2-digit multiple of 10

I can cross the 100s boundary when adding and subtracting multiples of ten.

Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. When you add and subtract multiples of 10, the ones digit stays the same.
  2. When you add and subtract multiples of 10, the tens digit and sometimes the 100s digit will change.
  3. Number facts can help when adding and subtracting multiples of 10

Keywords

  • Multiple - The result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

  • 100s boundary - The point at which the numbers change into 100s numbers, or from one set of hundreds to another.

Common misconception

Pupils may have difficultly partitioning 10s when crossing the 100s boundary. (e.g. 125 - 40)

Pupils practice adding to/subtracting from multiples of 10 (e.g. 130 - 50) before exploring non-multiples of 10 (e.g. 85 + 30)

Many pupils will find base ten blocks an essential resource for this lesson. Pupils should also be encouraged to use number lines to represent the problems, as they support children's thinking when crossing the hundreds boundary.
