A strategy that involves using a multiple of ten as a 'bridge' so numbers can be partitioned to make use of bonds to ten and calculate efficiently.

Subtract by bridging a multiple of ten

Maths

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. In the future unit pupils will learn to find 10 more or less than a 2-digit number They will  add and subtract 10 to/from a 2-digit number using number facts

In the prior unit pupils added 3 addends. They used strategies such as finding 2 addends to total 10 or 2 numbers to bridge though 10. 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.

Adding and subtracting ones and tens to and from 2-digit numbers
