When you search for a book that you like, click on the front cover to open and read the first page. If there are too many tricky words, it’s not the best book for you. If there are just a few tricky words then this is a perfect read.
On Friday, I will announce this week’s EPIC READERS! 😃

Try out different levels on the Number range or try Multiples of 10/ 5/ 50.
Main Activity – Subtracting 2-digit number from a 2-digit number✏️
- I can count back accurately
- I can subtract my tens then my units accurately
Read each sum carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do and write out your sum in your jotter. Count back in Tens first then subtract the units. Look out for number clues to help you! 😃
Remember we can use a variety of vocabulary for subtraction: takeaway, subtract, find the difference, difference between etc.
For example:
1a. 64 – 23 = 41
2a. 55 – 34 = 21
3a. 78m – 33m = 45m (metres)
4a. longest – Peter 85m shortest – Brutus 33m
85m – 33m = 52m
5.a. 57 – ? = 32
Use your answer as your number clue (32) and use inverse operation (addition instead of subtraction) and count on to 57 = 25
If you can manage this mentally then that is brilliant. You can use also use your 100-square to help you.
Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
