Frequently Asked Questions

When mentally subtracting twenty from two-digit numbers, children can think about taking away 2 tens rather than counting backwards one by one. This builds on their understanding of place value, helping them see that subtracting 20 means the tens digit decreases by 2 whilst the units digit stays the same. For example, 47 - 20 = 27 because we're taking away 2 from the tens column.
