Adding and subtracting the numbers up to 100

Tens and ones. Add the tens to the tens and the ones to the ones. In 24 + 35: 2 tens + 3 tens = 5 tens and 4 ones + 5 ones = 9 ones, so 24 + 35 = 59.

24+35=59

Subtract the same way. In 68 − 25: 6 tens − 2 tens = 4 tens and 8 ones − 5 ones = 3 ones, so 68 − 25 = 43.

With three numbers, work from left to right: 60 − 20 = 40, then 40 + 7 = 47, so 60 − 20 + 7 = 47.

Insert the proper symbol >, < or =

Compare the tens first: 63 > 58, because 6 tens are more than 5 tens. If the tens are the same, compare the ones: 45 > 44.

If there is a sum or a difference, work it out first. For 45 41 + 3, find 41 + 3 = 44, so 45 > 41 + 3.

Lengths: 1 m = 100 cm. Write both lengths in centimeters, then compare: 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 m > 80 cm.

Harder Problems

Making a ten. When the ones add up to 10 or more, make a ten first. In 47 + 8, split 8 into 3 and 5: 47 + 3 = 50, then 50 + 5 = 55.

For two two-digit numbers, add the tens and the ones separately: in 36 + 27, 30 + 20 = 50 and 6 + 7 = 13, so 36 + 27 = 50 + 13 = 63.

Subtracting across a ten. Take away the tens first, then the ones, and stop at the round ten on the way. In 42 − 17: 42 − 10 = 32; split 7 into 2 and 5: 32 − 2 = 30, then 30 − 5 = 25.

45 children were playing in the schoolyard. 12 were playing soccer, 18 were running, and the rest were playing dodgeball. How many children were playing dodgeball?

Answer: children

David wanted to buy a pack of chewing gum and an ice cream. The chewing gum cost 15 cents and the ice cream cost 58 cents. What is the least number of cents David needs to buy both?

Answer: cents

Solution

10 + 50 = 60 and 5 + 8 = 13, so 15 + 58 = 60 + 13 = 73. David needs at least 73 cents.
