🔟➕🔟 Multiples of Ten

  • Numbers like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60… are called multiples of ten.
  • They always end with a 0. 🟠

Adding Multiples of Ten Is Easy!

When we add numbers like 20 + 30, we only add the tens.

The zero stays zero! 😄
Example:

  • 20 + 30 = 50
  • 40 + 10 = 50

🎯 Add the Tens Digits

Look at the first digit (tens place).
Example:

  • 30 (3 tens)
  • 40 (4 tens)

Add the tens: 3 + 4 = 7

So, 30 + 40 = 70 🎉


🧮 Use Counting by Tens

  • Children can count: 10, 20, 30, 40…
  • Example: Start at 20 → count 3 steps by 10 → 50! 💚

🌟 Use Number Line

Jump in tens:
Example:

  • Start at 10
  • Jump +10
  • Jump +10
  • Land on 30 ✔️

💡 Real-Life Examples

  • 10 pencils + 20 pencils = 30 pencils ✏️
  • 20 balloons + 30 balloons = 50 balloons 🎈

🥳 Big Idea

👉 Adding two multiples of ten is just adding the tens!
👉 It is simple, quick, and fun! 😍

Notice that both numbers have 1 zero at the end. When the number of zeros is the same, it is easy to add. First, arrange the numbers one above the other:

10+50

Next, add the zeros. Wherever there is a zero below another zero, place a zero at the bottom. This is because zero plus zero equals zero.

10+50=0

Now add the remaining digits. One plus five is six.

10+50=60

Notice that both numbers have 1 zero at the end. When the number of zeros is the same, it is easy to add. First, arrange the numbers one above the other:

10+60

Next, add the zeros. Wherever there is a zero below another zero, place a zero at the bottom. This is because zero plus zero equals zero.

10+60=0

Now add the remaining digits. One plus six is seven.

10+60=70

Notice that both numbers have 1 zero at the end. When the number of zeros is the same, it is easy to add. First, arrange the numbers one above the other:

80+10

Next, add the zeros. Wherever there is a zero below another zero, place a zero at the bottom. This is because zero plus zero equals zero.

80+10=0

Now add the remaining digits. Eight plus one is nine.

80+10=90
