Subtracting numbers that bridge through 10
I can subtract through 10 using bridging.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- When the subtrahend is bigger than the ones value of the minuend, we will have to bridge through 10
- Composition of numbers to 10 allows us to partition numbers when we are subtracting.
- Composition of numbers to 10 allows us to bridge through ten when subtracting.
Common misconception
Pupils may incorrectly partition the subtrahend.
Partition the subtrahend to count back to ten or a tens number. Use number pairs that total ten to help subtract whatever is left.
Keywords
Minuend - The minuend is the number being subtracted from.
Subtrahend - A subtrahend is a number subtracted from another.
Bridge - Bridge means subtracting to make 10 and then subtracting whatever is left.
Partition - Partition means splitting a number into smaller parts.
It would be helpful if pupils have tens frames, counters and/or number lines to help them represent the problems. Pupils may also benefit from having the number cards 1-9.
