Lesson Summary
You will learn to solve problems involving multiples of ten in a range of contexts.
Key Notes
- Unitising and known facts help you to add and subtract multiples of ten
- If 3 + 2 is equal to 5 then 3 tens + 2 tens is equal to 5 tens which is equal to 50
- If 5 - 2 is equal to 3 then 5 tens subtract 2 tens is equal to 3 tens which is equal to 30
Vocabulary To Learn

- Subtract: Taking one number away from another.
- Multiple of ten: Groups of ten.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Children may rely on counting in tens rather than using known facts to add and subtract multiples of ten.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
