Add and subtract numbers up to 100
key notes :
🔢 Understanding Numbers up to 100
- Numbers up to 100 have tens and ones.
👉 Example: 45 = 4 tens + 5 ones - Use a number chart (1–100) to find and understand numbers.
➕ Addition up to 100
Addition means putting together or finding the total.
Add ones first, then tens.
Write numbers in columns (tens under tens, ones under ones).
You can use:
- Number line
- Base-ten blocks
- Fingers or objects
👉 Example:
34 + 25 = (30 + 20) + (4 + 5) = 50 + 9 = 59
➖ Subtraction up to 100
Subtraction means taking away or finding the difference.
Subtract ones first, then tens.
Use:
- Number line (jump backward)
- Objects or blocks
👉 Example:
56 − 23 = (50 − 20) + (6 − 3) = 30 + 3 = 33
🔄 Regrouping (Carrying & Borrowing)
Sometimes we need to regroup:
- Addition: Carry to tens when ones are more than 9
- Subtraction: Borrow from tens when ones are smaller
👉 Example (Addition):
28 + 17 = 45
👉 Example (Subtraction):
52 − 38 = 14
🎯 Important Tips
Always line up tens and ones correctly.
Start from the ones place.
Check your answer using the opposite operation:
- Addition ↔ Subtraction
Practice using real-life examples (money, objects, etc.).
🎉 Fun Practice Ideas
- Use coins or sticks to add and subtract.
- Play number games using a 100 chart.
- Solve simple word problems.
Learn with an example
🎯 Add. 72 + 24=___
- Add the ones. Add 2 + 4.
- 72 + 24= 6
- Add the tens. Add 7+2.
- 72 + 24= 96
- The sum is 96
🎯 Add. 51 + 36=____
- Add the ones. Add 1 + 6.
- 51 + 36=7
- Add the tens. Add 5 + 3.
- 51 + 36= 87
- The sum is 87.
🎯 Add. 71 + 3=___
- Add the ones. Add 1 + 3.
- 71 + 3=4
- Add the tens. Bring down the 7.
- 71 + 3= 74
- The sum is 74.
