Making up numbers: explained simply

Find the missing amount needed to reach a target, such as 10, 20, 100 or 1,000.

How to work it out

  • Missing part = target − known part.
  • You can count up in small steps: first to the next multiple of ten, then on to the target.

An example, step by step

63 + □ = 100

  1. From 63 to 70, you need 7.
  2. From 70 to 100, you need 30.
  3. Altogether: 7 + 30 = 37. Check: 63 + 37 = 100.

Understand other variations

Written as subtraction

For 100 − □ = 63, the missing number is also 37. Ask: how much must I take away from 100 to leave 63?

Your turn

46 + □ = 100

Show the answer and method

You need 4 to reach 50, then another 50. So 4 + 50 = 54.
