Mental math: add and subtract multiples of ten

In this mental math lesson, we look at adding and subtracting multiples of ten (20, 30, 40, 50, etc.) to/from a 3-digit number mentally. It is very easy!

First, we do a few of these addition and subtraction problems with the help of a visual model - to show clearly that it is based on place value: we simply add the tens to the existing tens.

Then we solve some more challenging problems, a word problem involving Mathy, my mammoth mascot, and lastly we look at a number pattern of sorts.
