Not wasting time or effort. An efficient strategy is one we can carry out easily.

Use efficient addition strategies to calculate

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.
