Subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (positive or zero differences), using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 1
Domain-Subdomain: Number and Operations in Base Ten
Cluster: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
Cluster: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. (Major Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Educational Game

The Game of Tens and Ones: A Lesson for Second Graders:

"This game gives children practice with adding and subtracting ones and tens. Using a special die, two 0 99 charts, and two markers, children play in pairs. During the course of a game, they calculate between 20 and 30 addition and subtraction problems." (from Math Solutions Professional Development)

Lesson Plans

Finding Ten More and Ten Less with Justen:

In this lesson, students will use manipulatives to decompose two-digit numbers into tens and ones. The students will then find ten more or ten less by adding or subtracting “just ten”. This will also be demonstrated on a hundreds chart.

Type: Lesson Plan

Disappearing Tens:

Students learn to subtract multiples of ten from multiples of ten by playing a game.

Type: Lesson Plan

Ten-Hut! Part-2 (Subtraction):

This fun, kinesthetic lesson allows students to gain insight into how to use place value when subtracting a one-digit number from a two-digit number. The focus is on students using their bodies, as well as math manipulatives, to solve subtraction problems within 100 that do not require regrouping.
