 I have found that I post more things with photos and writing than any other things so my goal is to do more posts with slides in them.

Reflections Wk 3 T2

Taniwha Follow-up Wk 3 T2

WALT:  add by counting on in tens

Complete these sums by counting on in tens.  The first one is done for you as an example.

21+40=	21+10+10+10+10=	61
67+30=	67+10+10+10=	97
28+50=	28+10+10+10+10+10=	88
54+70=	57+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=	124
73+40=	73+10+10+10+10+=	113
58+60=	58+10+10+10+10+10+10=	118
49+30=	49+10+10+10=	79
35+60=	35+10+10+10+10+10=	95
29+50=	29+10+10+10+10+10	79
69+70=	69+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=	129

Extension:  Create 1 of your own and solve using the extended addition method.

1.95+70=  95 + 10+10+10+10+10+10+10=165
In Maths we were learning expanded addition and counting up in 10's.
