10 More and 10 Less: Numbers up to 100

In this video, we’re going to learn how to find 10 more or 10 less than any number up to 100. And we’re also going to investigate how the number of tens and the number of ones change.

Here’s 100 square. Each row of the 100 square contains 10 squares: 10, 20, 30, 40, and so on. Let’s stop at the number 40 for a moment. How else could we show the number 40? We could use base 10 blocks. Four 10s and zero ones are 40. Now, how could we find 10 more than 40? We could put counters on another 10 squares. We’ve covered all the squares up to 50. 10 more than 40 is 50. To show 10 more using our base 10 equipment, we could add another 10s block. Instead of four 10s, we now have five 10s. 10 more than 40 is 50.

Now, let’s find 10 less than 40. To find 10 less than 40, we need to remove one lot of 10. So we could take away a row of counters or one of our 10s blocks. Instead of four 10s, we now have three 10s. And so, we can say 10 less than 40 is 30.

So far, all the numbers that we’ve looked at have had zero ones. Let’s try working with a number that does have some ones. This number has two 10s and five ones; it’s the number 25. Now, what’s 10 more than 25? To find 10 more, we just need to add one more 10s block. We did have two 10s. How many 10s do we have now? We have one lot of 10 more. So, we now have three 10s. And if we look at the number of ones, it hasn’t changed; we still have five ones.

10 more than 25 is 35. Look how the number of tens has gone from two 10s to three 10s. But the number of ones doesn’t change at all. This is what happens when we find 10 more or 10 less. The number of tens changes, but the number of ones stays the same.

Imagine you’ve made the number 83 out of these two-digit cards and you’ve been asked to show 10 less than 83. Which card would you change, the orange one, the red one, both of them, or none of them?

As we’ve seen already, when we find 10 more or 10 less than a number, the tens digit changes, but the ones digit stays the same. So we wouldn’t have to touch the red card; we just swap the orange card to show 10 less than eight 10s. 10 less than 83 is 73.

Let’s have a go to answering some questions now where we need to practice finding 10 more or 10 less than some numbers up to 100.

Find 10 more than 20. Use the base 10 blocks to help you. 20 plus 10 more equals what.

In this question, we’re starting off with 20. And we can see this in the picture. These blocks are 10s blocks; each one is worth 10. And we can see two of them to start off with, which is the same as 20. And our question asks us to find 10 more than 20. That’s why in the second part of our picture we can see one more 10s block. This is the 10 that we need to add to 20.

So, we’ve started off with two lots of 10, and we’ve added one more lot of 10. How many tens should we have to end with? Well, we know two plus one more is three. Two 10s plus another 10 is going to equal three 10s. And three 10s are worth 10, 20, 30. 20 plus 10 more equals 30.

Find the picture that shows 10 less than 38.

To answer this question, we need to choose one of the three pictures underneath. And in each of the pictures we have a different number that’s been modeled using base 10 blocks. The yellow blocks represent tens and the red blocks represent ones. To begin with, let’s try making 38 out of base 10 blocks. What would it look like? We could model the number 38 out of three 10s and eight ones.

Now our question asks us to find a picture that shows 10 less than 38. And in the number 38, as we’ve seen already, it contains three 10s. If we want to find 10 less than 38, how many tens is our new number going to have? Instead of three 10s, we’re going to have to take away a 10. Instead of three 10s and eight ones, our answer has two 10s and eight ones. The number of ones doesn’t change, but the number of tens has.

Now we should be able to see straightaway which one of our pictures shows the number 28. It’s the one made up of two 10s and eight ones. This is the picture that shows 10 less than 38.

94 is 10 more than what.

This is a really interesting question, because we might look at it quickly and think to ourselves, “I need to find 10 more than 94.” But that’s not what the sentence says. We could think of this sentence as being a little bit like a number machine. We start off with a number that we don’t know yet. We find 10 more. And then we get an answer of 94. Now, if we look at our picture at the same time as reading the sentence, we might get an idea of how to work out the answer. 94 is 10 more than what?

To find our missing number, we don’t need to add 10 to 94. We need to work backwards through our number machine. We need to find out what’s 10 less than 94. To help us find 10 less than 94, let’s use 10 frames. 94 is made up of nine 10s, which is the same as nine full 10 frames, and then four ones. These are the four extra counters on the end.

Now if we want to find 10 less than 94, what are we going to do? We can just take away one of our 10 frames. Instead of nine 10s, we now have eight 10s. Notice how the ones digit hasn’t changed though; we still have those four ones on the end. 10 less than 94 is 84.

Now, the way to find out whether we’ve worked out the answer correctly is to put the number 84 in our original sentence and see if it makes sense. 94 is 10 more than 84. Yes, that does make sense, doesn’t it? It was a tricky question this one; we had to work backwards to find the answer. The missing number is 84.

So, what have we learned in this video? We’ve learned how to find 10 more and 10 less than any number up to 100. We also know that the number of tens changes, but the number of ones stays the same.
