Year 2 - Maths
Adding and subtracting ones and tens to and from 2-digit numbers
In this unit pupils will add and subtract 1s and 10s from 2 digit numbers. They will use number facts to add/subtract a single-digit number to/from a 2-digit number. They will use a part-part-whole model to represent addition and subtraction.
You will learn to use number facts to subtract multiples of ten from a two-digit number.
When subtracting multiples of ten from a two-digit number, the tens digit changes but the ones digit stays the same. We can use number facts to help us subtract multiples of ten from a two-digit number.
The numbers that are said when we count on in tens from zero. Multiples of ten always have a ones digit of zero. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Children may automatically count back in tens to subtract a multiple of ten. Correction: Discuss efficiency and compare different methods. Use practical equipment to draw attention to the relationship between adding multiples of ten in two-digit numbers and the known facts they already possess.
