What's on this worksheet

Two two-digit numbers set out in columns. Some sums need an exchange and some do not. Each sheet comes with an answer key on a separate page.

Teaching tips

  • Many UK schools write the exchanged ten small, under the answer line of the tens column. Follow the layout your school uses.
  • Ask children to estimate first by rounding each number to the nearest 10.
