  1. To Rhiannon,
    Remember that we have been using our tidy tens so you started off well.
    Going 41+9=50
    Then if you go 50+10=60
    Then go 60+2=62
    So you have used a 10+9+2 to get to the answer.
    So 10+9=19
    19+2=21
    So we know then that 41+21=62
    Could you use this stratgey to work out
    36+____=52

  5. To Rhiannon,
    Remember it is just as important to be able to talk about or show how you work out a problem as it is having the right answer. You are right 36+16=52 but can you explain how you worked this out using your tidy tens please.
