About this resource
Bridging through 10 is a mental math technique that can be used when adding two numbers where the units have a sum greater than ten.
There are two parts to this resource:
Worksheet Sets
Worksheet Set 1
Adding 1 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers, bridging up to 100 - with visual support
Worksheet Set 2
Adding 2 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers, bridging up to 100 - with visual support
Pupils have the opportunity to practice this topic further either by using the visual method from Worksheets 1 & 2, or using their own graphics that support the concept of bridging.
Worksheet Set 3
Adding 1 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers, bridging up to 100.
Worksheet Set 4
Adding 2 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers, bridging up to 100.
How many worksheets are in each set ?
Almost Unlimited. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, so you can create as many different worksheets as you need for classwork, homework, revision, preparing for assessment, fillers etc and the numbers will change every time.
Answers are automatically generated every time.
How many worksheets are in each set ?
Almost unlimited. Numbers are randomised at the click of a button, so the questions change every time. This means you can create as many new worksheets you will need for practice throughout the year (classwork, homework, revision, fillers etc) or even give small groups of students in your class different sets of questions either at the same level or differentiated .
There will certainly be enough to ensure fluency in this topic.
The "Interactive Teaching Resource"
This is designed to be used by teachers and pupils on an Interactive Whiteboard or on a PC/Mac computer for one-to-one tuition. Examples are randomly generated at the click of a button, so you can use this one page as many times as needed. There is also the option to take the pupils through the process in 3 separate steps, one at a time.
Note
These resources are PDF documents and work with the official Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers with the randomising buttons also working via a touchscreen (PC or Mac) or on an Interactive Whiteboard

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Decompose an addend to reach the next multiple of ten
Complete addition after bridging through a ten
Represent a multistep addition path on a number line
Teaching tips
Model the split that reaches the next ten before using generated practice.
Ask learners to label both jumps so the bridge is visible rather than recording only a final sum. Use these adding and subtracting within 100 worksheets to give students more calculations to practice.
Skills covered
Mental addition — addends are decomposed strategically.
Place-value reasoning — multiples of ten serve as useful landmarks.
Number-line representation — sequential jumps record the method.
