Use known facts to add and subtract to and from multiples of 100

Lesson details

Learning outcome

I can add to and subtract from multiples of 100.

Key learning points

  1. When you add a one-digit number and a multiple of 100, only the 1s digit changes.
  2. When you subtract a one-digit number from a multiple of 100, the 100s, 10s and 1s digits change.
  3. When you add a 10s number and a multiple of 100, only the 10s digit changes.
  4. When you subtract a 10s number from a multiple of 100, the 100s and 10s digits change.

Keywords

  • Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

Common misconception

Pupils may need help using number pairs that total 10 to support their thinking in this lesson.

Make explicit connections between number pairs that total ten and the learning (e.g. 10 - 3 = 7 so 100 - 7 = 93 and 100 - 30 = 70).

Teacher tip

Base ten blocks and number lines will help support pupils' thinking and enable them to represent their calculations. Encourage pupils to use number pairs that total 10 and multiples of ten that total 100 to subtract from 100s numbers.
