Lesson details
Key learning points
- When adding a single digit and a two-digit number, the equation can be solved more efficiently by 'bridging ten.'
- When bridging a multiple of ten, the second addend is partitioned so that it reaches the next multiple of ten.
- Bridging ten is an efficient strategy because number pairs to ten can be used to calculate more easily.
Keywords
Bridge - A mental strategy which uses addition or subtraction to cross a number boundary.
Partition - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Common misconception
Children may partition the second addend in a way that does not allow them to make use of the multiple of ten and use their number bonds to calculate efficiently.
Use ten frames and number lines to support children in finding the multiple of ten and partition the addend in different ways to compare the efficiency of different ways of partitioning.
Encourage children to draw their own number lines to support the development of mental methods and dsiplay and use stem sentences that support with the articualtion of thinking.

Q1.
Alex represents the equation 32 + 8 = ___ Which known fact could he use to solve it more efficiently?
3 + 8
3 + 2
Q2.
Use the picture to complete the stem sentence. We know that 7 plus 3 is equal to 10, so we also know that plus 3 is equal to 30
Q3.
Which of the following numbers will complete the equation? 65 + 5 = ___
60
80
Q4.
Which equation would be next in this pattern? 10 − 8 = 2, 20 − 8 = 12, 30 − 8 = 22 ...
38 − 8 = 30
48 − 8 = 40
Q5.
What is the missing addend in the next equation? Remember, you can partition the two-digit number to help you see the ones more clearly. 52 + 8 = 60, 53 + 7 = 60, 54 + = 60 ...
Q6.
I know that 10 − 1 = 9, so I also know that 30 − 1 =
