Number houses with tens

Number houses with tens helps children practise splitting a full-tens number into every possible pair of addends. Read the short guide and look through the examples before choosing online practice or a printable worksheet.

How to solve this

  • A calculation house splits one number (the "roof") into two parts (the "floors") that add up to it.
  • If you know the roof and one floor, subtract to find the missing floor.
  • Check that both floors add up exactly to the roof number.
