Lesson details
Key learning points
- Unitising and known facts help you to add and subtract multiples of ten.
- If 3 + 2 is equal to 5 then 3 tens + 2 tens is equal to 5 tens which is equal to 50
- If 5 - 2 is equal to 3 then 5 tens subtract 2 tens is equal to 3 tens which is equal to 30
Common misconception
Children may not see the link between adding or subtracting ones and adding or subtracting tens. They may not know how to use known facts to help work out equations using multiples of ten.
Reinforce understanding of unitising by describing groups of objects in ones or tens. Make the link between known facts and equations using multiples of ten explicit. Show it with equipment such as base ten blocks and represent on place value charts.
