Common misconception
Children may focus on the ones digit rather than the tens digits. They may calculate inefficiently by counting on/back in ones rather than using the pattern in the tens digits.
Use Base 10 equipment alongside one hundred squares to support with understanding the structure of adding or subtracting ten and difference. Encourage children to notice what changes and what stays the same.
