Mental Math - Adding Ten!

Adding ten means jumping up ten.  If a child has a basic understanding of place value, it is easy for them to know the ones digit stays the same, but the ten’s digit increases by one.  It is essential for children to have this basic understanding of adding ten.  Tens are friendly and easy to work with.  So, when helping your child - practice jumping up ten!

72 + 10 = 82
135 + 10 = 145
