Ten More and Ten Less

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: changing the tens value while preserving ones

1

Write ten more than 34. Which digit changes?

2

Write ten less than 76.

3

Complete 48 + 10 = ___ and 48 − 10 = ___.

4

A learner says ten more than 52 is 53. Explain the amount added in that answer.

5

Find a number for which ten more is 89.

6

Choose a number from 20 to 80. Write ten less, your number and ten more.

Grown-up guide
  1. Add or remove a drawn tens bundle rather than individual marks.
  2. Ask the learner to identify the unchanged ones value.
  3. Keep chosen values within two-digit results.
