Add two multiples of ten

🔢 What Are Multiples of 10?

  • Numbers that end in 0.
  • Examples: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, …

When We Add Multiples of 10

  • We add only the tens place.
  • The ones place stays 0.

Example:

  • 20 + 30 = 50
  • Add 2 tens + 3 tens = 5 tens50

🧠 Use Tens Blocks or Bundles

  • 10 ones = 1 ten stick.
  • Adding multiples of 10 is like adding ten sticks.

Example:

  • 40 = 4 tens
  • 30 = 3 tens
  • 4 tens + 3 tens = 7 tens → 70

🎯 Skip Counting Helps

  • Use skip count by 10s:
    10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60…

Example:

  • Start at 30 → count up 40 more by tens:
    30 → 40 → 50 → 60 → 70

🧩 No Carrying Needed

  • Adding multiples of 10 is easy because
    there is no regrouping/carrying.

Example:
60 + 20 = 80
