b)  Make a number line from 50 to 100.

 

8.  Each ten-pillar has tens little cubes.  Fill in the table.  Write each number also as an addition.

50 + 7 = ___

__ tens __ ones

___ + __ = ___

 
 
 

__ tens __ ones

___ + __ = ___

4 + 50 = __

9 + 50 = __

90 + 9 = __

1 + 60 = __

 

12.  For each underlined number, find the number that is exactly 1 ten and 1 more.  Write that number down and encircle it.  What pattern do you notice - where is that number on the chart in relation to the underlined number?

 

                   
10 11             18

j.  41, ___, ___, 44

l.  ___, 78, ___, 80

18 15
20 17
19 20
 
78 40
22 25
68 80
 
62 59
37 73

P.S. ....

 

Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc.

"Be My Baby"
originally by the Ronettes

Impossible Dream (Elvis song)
Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that!
