Addition and Subtraction Facts to 100 (2)

Look at this number square, which shows all the bonds you should know by heart up to 20.

 

 

You can use this table to work out additions and subtractions right up to 100.

 

Example 1

Add  76 + 9 

 

Answer

We split 76 into 70 and 6.

We now need to work out

70 + 6 + 9

 

You should know this by heart, but the number square shows that

6 + 9 = 15

 

 So

      76 + 9   = 70 + 6 + 9

   = 70 + 15 = 85

 

 

Example 2

Subtract  85 - 9 

 

Answer

We split 85 into 70 and 15.

We now need to work out

70 + 15 - 9

You should know this by heart, but the number square shows that

15 - 9 = 6

When you subtract, the starting number is inside the square.

 

 

 So

       85 - 9  = 70 + 15 - 9

   = 70 + 6  = 76
