Adding tens and ones

Tuesday 14 October 2025

We have continued to explore tens and ones in our maths lessons.
This week, we have been adding tens and ones together.

We learned that if we have 40 (or 4 tens) and we add 3 ones, the total is 43.

We used Base 10 equipment to help us see this visually. By finding the correct number of tens and ones, we could clearly see the total amount when they were added together.

We are becoming more confident at recognising how numbers are made up of tens and ones and using this to help us add!

 

 

Help at home: Can your child choose some tens and ones to add together. They could draw out the Base 10 or show you a part whole model that we have been using.
