Adding and Subtracting Tens

In this movie, you’ll learn how to add and subtract tens and solve sentences that use two-digit numbers. You can skip-count by tens or use a number line or hundred chart. You can hide zeroes to help you add or subtract, or use doubles facts to help you find the sum or difference. Use what you know about adding and subtracting tens to add or subtract 9 or 11. What is 40- 11? Watch the movie to learn different strategies to solve.

    I love the quick description of each activity listed above. It’s just enough to know if it fits what you want your students to accomplish. I really like the idea in the Jelly Bean game of having students recreate the game they just played (or an alternative) using jelly beans/manipulatives. That is a great way for students to continue using the concepts they just learned in the game. Since my classroom isn’t 1-1 I could have some students on the game and some doing this activity. They are all working on the same skill but using different approaches! While I’m sad I never knew about these resources until this workshop, I’m so glad I can begin to utilize them now!

    I love this! Great collection of resources both digital and traditional–from hands on manipulatives (base ten blocks, candy, flipcharts, etc.), to games (Jelly bean game, etc.), to further reteach and extension ideas for at home and school. I like that teachers and/or parents can use this as a well rounded plan for a unit or skill with multiple levels of students. It really lays out lessons for you which can be hard to come by when you’re a teacher. This is literally like a one stop shop! You don’t need to have 1-1 to utilize these lesson ideas–these activities could be done in centers as well (which is what I prefer as a teaching strategy for math anyway). I wish I had known about this earlier in my teaching career!
