Adding Two-Digit Numbers Crossing Ten

Year 2 MathsAddition and Subtraction6 pages

About this worksheet

Forty-five Year 2 addition questions over three pages, and every one crosses a ten. The warm-up starts with a two-digit number and ones, as in 18 + 5 and 64 + 9, then adds teen numbers such as 26 + 15. The middle page moves to pairs like 54 + 29 and 37 + 58, and ends with three sums already split into tens and ones, such as 40 + 30 + 6 + 7. The last page has missing numbers on either side of the equals sign, the run 19 + 18, 29 + 18 and 39 + 18, and three questions written in words. An answer key lists all 45.

How teachers use it

Spot the pattern

Stop the class after questions 40 to 42 and ask what changed each time. It shows quickly that only the tens digit of the answer moves.

Daily starter

Set page 1 as a five-minute starter for a week and let pupils chart how many they finish. The first six suit pupils who still count on in ones.

Back to equipment

If a pupil gets 54 + 29 wrong, ask them to build both numbers with base 10 and swap ten ones for a ten. Then let them try 45 + 48 alone.
