Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use a basic fact to explain related sums involving tens and ones.

Worked example

Complete 4 + 3, 40 + 3, and 40 + 30.

7, 43, and 70

The fact 4 + 3 = 7 appears as ones, as 4 tens plus 3 ones, and as 4 tens plus 3 tens.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Read each number in units and tens before solving.
  • Use base-ten blocks to build all three equations from the same starting fact.
