Neighbour numbers and neighbour tens
Neighbour numbers and neighbour tens helps children practise finding the number just before and just after any two-digit number, and its nearest full tens. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.
How to solve this
- The neighbours of a number are the number that comes just before it (minus 1) and the one just after it (plus 1).
- For any number n, the left neighbour is n − 1 and the right neighbour is n + 1.
- Check by counting on the number line: the neighbours should be the two numbers directly touching yours.
