Explain different strategies used to subtract

Maths

In this 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 future unit pupils will add 3 addends, understanding they can be added in any order, bridging through 10.

In the prior unit pupils added and subtracted 1s and 10s from 2 digit numbers. They used number facts to add/subtract a single-digit number to/from a 2-digit number and used a part-part-whole model to represent addition and subtraction. In this 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.
