Lesson 4.1 · Adding and Subtracting Within 1,000

10 or 100 more and less

What is 100 more than 245? You don't need to count all the way up. Only one digit changes. Let's see which one.

100 more and 100 less

245 has 2 hundreds, 4 tens and 5 ones.

100 more means 1 more hundred. 2 hundreds become 3 hundreds.

The tens and ones stay the same. So 100 more than 245 is 345.

100 less works the same way. 2 hundreds become 1 hundred. So 100 less than 245 is 145.

Here are hops of 100 on a number line. Look at the hundreds digit: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Count back by tens from 560: 550, 540. The hundreds and ones stay put.

Which digit changes?

  • 100 more or 100 less: change the hundreds digit by 1.
  • 10 more or 10 less: change the tens digit by 1.

The other digits stay the same.

Worked example: 10 more than 356

356 has 5 tens. 5 tens become 6 tens.

The 3 hundreds and 6 ones stay. The answer is 366.

Worked example: 100 less than 482

482 has 4 hundreds. 4 hundreds become 3 hundreds.

The 8 tens and 2 ones stay. The answer is 382.

Worked example: 10 more than 492

492 has 9 tens. 9 tens + 1 ten = 10 tens.

10 tens make 1 hundred! So 4 hundreds become 5 hundreds, and there are 0 tens.

The answer is 502.

Common mistake

Watch out when the tens digit is 9 (going up) or 0 (going down). 10 more than 492 is 502, not 4,102. 10 less than 604 is 594, not 6,094.
