1.NBT.C.6

Full Standard

Subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (positive or zero differences), using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

About the Math

Skills and concepts below are learning goals for this standard.

  • Find the difference of two multiples of 10 (e.g. 90 - 40) using models, drawings, hundred charts, and number lines.
  • Subtract a multiple of 10 from a multiple of 10. (e.g., subtract 90 - 40).
  • Explain the difference between two multiples of 10 by relating it to subtracting the tens digit.
  • Explain why the ones place does not change when subtracting multiples of 10.

In order for students to develop strategies for mental computation, they need to see the patterns of subtracting a multiple of 10. In order to do this, they may have to count back by 10 ones and then make the connection that ten ones equal one ten. Seeing the patterns by using a hundreds chart helps students see how to subtract a multiple of ten from another multiple of ten (i.e. 80 - 30). Students may also may connections between counting by 1s and 10s. It is wise to move to subtracting multiples of ten from any two-digit number when students show proficiency with this standard. Moving to the latter will aid the development of mental math and number sense.. Essential vocabulary for this standard includes: add, subtract, 10 more, and 10 less (online dictionary Links to an external site., Download HCPSS Vocabulary Cards
