 Tens and Ones
A 2-digit number is made up of the ‘tens’ digit and the ‘ones’ digit.

45
‘tens’ digit ‘ones’ digit
The number 45 has 4 tens and 5 ones. What we need to understand
is that the 4 tens equal 40, and the 5 ones equal 5.
We can also write this as an addition number sentence.

45 = 40 + 5
Complete this table.

Number Numbers of ‘Tens’ Number of ‘Ones’ Number Sentence

32 3 2 32 = 30 + 2

96 9 6 96 = 90 + 6

12 1 2 12 = 10 + 2

80 8 0 80 = 80 + 0

55 5 5 55 = 50 + 5

Complete these number sentences. The first one has been done for you.

30 + 5 = 20 + 15

40 + 6 = 30 + 16

60 + 1 = 40 + 21

90 + 2 = 50 + 42

20 + 7 = 10 + 17

50 + 8 = 30 + 28

70 + 4 = 20 + 54

Now, match the sums that have the same answer.

30 + 8 50 + 18

70 + 8 30 + 18

60 + 8 20 + 18

40 + 8 60 + 18

 Words and Figures
Make sure you know how to write the numbers from 1 to 100 in words as
well. Learn the ‘tens’ numbers and the ‘teens’ numbers, and then look for
patterns when you add the numbers 1 to 9 to the ‘tens’ numbers.
Practise writing these numbers as numerals and words.

2 two 20 twenty
3 three 30 thirty
4 four 40 forty

Ordering Numbers and Reading Scales
Looking at a scale or number line helps us to understand how to order
numbers. Knowing the value of the ‘tens’ and ‘ones’ in 2-digit numbers
helps us see whether a number is bigger or smaller than another one, and
this helps us to order them.
Put these numbers in order from smallest to largest.

43, 56, 21, 8, 99, 12, 34

8, 12, 21, 34, 43, 56, 99

29, 19, 39, 9, 99, 79, 59

9, 19, 29, 39, 59, 79, 99

23, 26, 21, 28, 29, 22, 24

21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29

Put these numbers in order from largest to smallest.

73, 16, 91, 22, 89, 52, 4

91, 89, 73, 52, 22, 16, 4

16, 36, 96, 6, 76, 26, 46

96, 76, 46, 36, 26, 16, 6

64, 65, 60, 67, 68, 63, 61

68, 67, 65, 64, 63, 61, 60

Page 16 of 60
 If you are asked to put numbers onto a number line, remember to look at
the numbers at the start and finish of the line to help you understand what
the number line is showing. For example, if you were asked to put ‘15’ on
these number lines, where would you put it?

14 16

14 20

1 20

1 100

Sometimes the scales or number lines have divisions, which may not have
numbers on them. What numbers do you think would go on the divisions here?

0 10 20 30 40 50

Page 17 of 60
 Sometimes you might be asked to put numbers on a number line.
Can you put these numbers in order on the number lines?

3, 7, 1, 6, 4, 9
1 3 4 6 7 9
0 10

20, 49, 1, 10, 35, 43

1 10 20 35 43 49
0 50

You might be asked to say which number you think is being shown
on a number line. This is where looking at the numbers and divisions
will really help you.

Page 18 of 60
 What numbers are being shown on these number lines?
(Think about what the mark half way between each number is showing you).

15 22/23

10 20 30

25 90-95

0 50 100

125 250

 Greater Than and Less Than
Put the correct sign in the boxes.

25 < 32 41 > 14 99 > 45 14 < 35

16 > 30 > < 99 54 >

Any number suitable if it makes the equation work.

Try these. Remember to solve the calculation on each side of the box before
you choose the symbol.

3+5 < 4+6 21 + 5 = 20 + 6

7+8 > 9+3 30 + 40 < 20 + 60

4+3 < 4×3 5+5+5 = 5×3

You can also solve problems using the ‘<’, ‘>’ and ‘=’ signs.
The vet has come to weigh the animals at the zoo.
Here are the weights he has written down.

lion 80kg
tiger 95kg
chimpanzee 50kg
red panda 45kg

Fill in the boxes with <, > or =.

lion < tiger

chimpanzee > red panda

tiger = chimpanzee + red panda

 Adding and Subtracting
Tens and 2-Digit Numbers
Counting on in Tens

35 45 55 65 75 85

1 11 21 31 41 51

Try these calculations. Solve them by counting on in 10s.

67 + 10 = 77

54 + 10 + 10 = 74

20 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 50

Now, think about how many tens you need to count on.

35 + 20 = 55

18 + 30 = 48

Now, try these calculations. Solve them by counting back in 10s.

34 - 10 = 24

42 – 10 – 10 = 22

99 – 10 – 10 – 10 – 10 = 59

Now, think about how many tens you need to count back.

78 - 30 = 48

48 – 40 = 8

 Now, let’s try some word problems.

Jack spends exactly 50p on cakes.

Tick the box that shows the cakes he bought.

✓
Jack only has 5p pieces in his pocket. He says, ‘I will not be able to pay
exactly with 5p pieces.’ Is he right? Explain how you know.
No, he is not right because he needs to pay 50p and 50 is divisible by 5
(in the 5x table) so he can pay with 5p pieces. He will need 10 of them
because 10 x 5 = 50.

 Fractions of Shapes
First, let’s look at finding fractions of shapes.
Shade ½ of each of these shapes.

1 section of the triangle, 2 sections of the circle and 4 sections of the

rectangle should be shaded. It doesn’t matter which sections you shade,
as long as the correct number of sections are shaded.

Now shade ¼ of these shapes.

1 section of the first two shapes and 2 sections of the last shape should
be shaded. It doesn’t matter which sections you shade, as long as the
correct number of sections are shaded.

Page 34 of 60
 Shade ⅓ of these shapes.

1 section of the circle, 2 sections of the hexagon and 2 sections of the

square should be shaded. It doesn’t matter which sections you shade, as
long as the correct number of sections are shaded.

Shade ¾ of these shapes.

3 sections of the first two shapes, and 6 sections of the last shape should
be shaded. It doesn’t matter which sections you shade, as long as the
correct number of sections are shaded.

 Fraction of Quantities
The same thing applies when we are finding fractions of quantities. You

 Measuring Capacity
Being able to read a scale is important when you are measuring. Measuring
jugs will have a scale on them but they will not show every single millilitre.
Have a go at reading the scales on these jugs. Don’t forget to write your
answers in millilitres (ml).
