100 square

You can flip the 100 square so it counts up from 1 to 100

Remember to add up or down in 10s then add or subtract the ones, here is an example –

23+45 =  (start at 23 jump up 4 lots of 10 then add on 5) = 68

56-24 = (start at 56 jump down 2 lots of 10 then subtract 4 = 32

There are a mixture of calculations here – choose 5 of them – there are some spicy challenge ones.  Feel free to complete them all if you dare!

15+24 =              14+23 =            45+38 =           24+36 =             156+32 =

78-32 =               29-12=              98-74 =            86-53 =              179-52  =
