Introduction
- Numbers are like magic—they help us count, measure, and play games!
- Let’s explore the exciting world of numbers from 21 to 99 and discover how they can make everyday things even more fun.
- Ready to start this number adventure?

Number Names (21 to 99)
Let’s start by understanding the number names for each of these two-digit numbers:

Place Value (Tens and Ones)
- In a two-digit number, the first digit represents the tens place, and the second digit represents the ones place.
- For example, in the number 56, 5 is in the tens place, and 6 is in the ones place.
- Understanding place value helps us read and write numbers correctly.

Counting (Skip Counting by Tens):
- We can count from 20 to 99 by adding 10 each time.
- For example, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.

Comparison of Numbers (Greater Than and Less Than)
- We can compare two two-digit numbers by looking at the digit in the tens place first.
- If the tens digits are different, the number with the greater tens digit is greater.
- If the tens digits are the same, we compare the ones digits to determine which number is greater.
- Examples:
45 and 63: Since 6 is greater than 4, therefore 63 is greater than 45.
78 and 74: Since 7 is the same in both numbers, we look at the ones place. 8 is greater than 4, so 78 is greater than 74.
Let’s Count!
Numbers 21 to 30 – Let’s Count
- Numbers 21 to 30 are formed by adding the tens place (20, 30) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 21 is formed by adding 20 and 1, 22 is formed by adding 20 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 21 to 30 to become familiar with these numbers.
Numbers 31 to 40 – One More Ten
- Numbers 31 to 40 follow a similar pattern.
- They are formed by adding the tens place (30) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 31 is formed by adding 30 and 1, 32 is formed by adding 30 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 31 to 40 to get comfortable with these numbers.
Numbers 41 to 50 – Moving Forward
- Numbers 41 to 50 are created by adding the tens place (40) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 41 is formed by adding 40 and 1, 42 is formed by adding 40 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 41 to 50 to reinforce your understanding.
Numbers 51 to 60 – Climbing Higher
- Numbers 51 to 60 continue the pattern.
- They are formed by adding the tens place (50) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 51 is formed by adding 50 and 1, 52 is formed by adding 50 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 51 to 60 to become proficient with these numbers.
Numbers 61 to 70 – A New Set
- Numbers 61 to 70 are formed by adding the tens place (60) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 61 is formed by adding 60 and 1, 62 is formed by adding 60 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 61 to 70 to strengthen your knowledge.
Numbers 71 to 80 – Further Exploration
- Numbers 71 to 80 follow the same pattern.
- They are formed by adding the tens place (70) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 71 is formed by adding 70 and 1, 72 is formed by adding 70 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 71 to 80 to become more confident.
Numbers 81 to 90 – Nearing the End
- Numbers 81 to 90 are created by adding the tens place (80) to the units place (1 to 10).
- For example, 81 is formed by adding 80 and 1, 82 is formed by adding 80 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 81 to 90 to solidify your understanding.
Numbers 91 to 99 – The Final Stretch
- Numbers 91 to 99 follow the same pattern as the previous sets.
- They are formed by adding the tens place (90) to the units place (1 to 9, as there is no 0 in the units place).
- For example, 91 is formed by adding 90 and 1, 92 is formed by adding 90 and 2, and so on.
- Practice counting from 91 to 99 to master these numbers.
What is the Ones and Tens Concept?
The number 10 is the first and the smallest two-digit number.
Example 1:
- Let’s take 10 pencils.

- Now make a group of 10 pencils.

- We can make only 1 group. It represents 1 Ten. But there is no single pencil remaining. It indicates 0 ones.
- So, the number 10 can write as:

Example 2:
- If we take 21 pencils, we can make 2 groups of 10 pencils that can be represented as 2 Tens.
- 1 remaining pencil can be represented as 1 Ones.

- 2 Tens and 1 Ones = 21
- We can write 21 as:
Example 3:
- We can represent 100 as 10 groups of Tens.

- We cannot write 100 as:

- We use the hundreds place. The number 100 is written as:

100 is the first and smallest three-digit number.

Let’s calculate the number of popsicles given in the table below

Missing Numbers
A series or sequence where a number is missed is known as a missing number sequence.
Look at the example given below.

The teacher asks the students to stand heightwise in a line.



Mohit and Meeta place their pencils along the edge of the tabletop to measure the length of the table.


are playing on a see-saw.
is light. Ant weighs less. It has less mass.
is heavy. Elephant weighs more. It has more mass.

Kripa and Vanshika are playing with their “Toy Balance” and blocks to know how heavy their toys are.



This teapot holds 3 cups of tea. Or we can say that capacity of this teapot is 3 cupfuls.
We reach at 9. So, 6 + 3 = 9.EduRev Tips: It is easy to add if we start from the bigger number while doing addition by counting forward.Addition on a Number LineTo add 7 and 3, we start from 7 on the number line and move 3 steps (ones) forward.
We reach at 10. So, 7 + 3 = 10.Vertical AdditionTo add 6 and 2, we arrange the numbers one below the other and add as we do by forward counting as shown.
Start from the bigger number 6 and count forward by 2 as:
So, 6 + 2 = 8.Properties of AdditionLet us look at the following situations to know the properties of addition.1. Adding two numbers by changing their order
While adding two numbers, the sum does not change, even if we change the order of the numbers.2. Adding 0 to a numberThere are 4 friends playing. No more friends joined them.
When we add 0 to a number, the sum is the number itself.Addition up to 20Adding 1-digit number to 10
EduRev Tips: To add 1-digit number to 10, just replace the 0 with the number. It becomes the ones place of the ‘sum’.Addition: Counting Together by Making a Group of 10Let us add two single digit numbers say 8 and 5 by making tens. 8 X-mas stars and 5 X-mas stars together give 13 X-mas stars.
Here’s a fun way to do it:First, try to make a group of 10 stars because it’s easier to count.From the 5 stars, take 2 stars and add them to the 8 stars.Now, you have:8 stars + 2 stars = 10 stars (One group of 10!)You still have 3 stars left from the 5 stars.So, 10 stars + 3 stars = 13 stars.You have 13 Christmas stars in total.So, the sum of 8 and 5 is 13.EduRev Tips: Adding by making a group of 10 changes the question to “adding to 10”.Addition: Counting Together by Adding Ones FirstLet us add a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number say, 12 and 5.
So, the sum of 12 and 5 is 17.Addition: Counting Forward on a Number LineLook at the given number line. It shows the numbers from 0 to 20.
Let us add 11 and 6 using the number line. To find 11 + 6, start with the bigger number, 11. Now, take 6 steps (ones) forward as shown.
We reach at 17. So, 11 + 6 = 17.Adding Three Numbers
Ms Yashvi is hosting a holiday cookie party for kids. Ms Yashvi helps them in adding the number of cookies they want.
Thus, Ms Yashvi got the answer 9 cookies because 3 + 2 + 4 = 9.EduRev Tips: While adding three numbers, it makes no difference which two numbers are added first.
There are 15 + 3 = 18 students in the class now.SubtractionSubtraction by Crossing OutThere are 8 carrots in the basket. A rabbit takes away 3 carrots. How many carrots are left in the basket now?
To find how many carrots are left, we cross out 3 carrots and count the remaining uncrossed carrots.
There are 5 uncrossed carrots.So, 5 carrots are left in the basket.We can write it as:8 – 3 = 5 Or
EduRev Tips: When we write the smaller number below the bigger number for subtraction, it is called vertical subtraction.Subtraction by Counting BackwardTo subtract 4 from 7 by backward counting, we start with the bigger number 7 and count backward 4 ones as:
We reach at 3. So, 7 – 4 = 3.EduRev Tips: We count backward by ones to subtract. The number we stop at is the difference.Properties of SubtractionLet us look at the following situations to know the properties of subtraction.1. Subtracting 0 from a numberA monkey has 6 bananas. The monkey ate none. Now, 6 bananas are left with him.
When 0 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the same number.2. Subtracting 1 from a numberA monkey has 5 bananas. The monkey ate 1 banana. Now, 4 bananas are left with him.
When 1 is subtracted from a number, the difference is the number that is just before it.3. Subtracting a number from itselfA monkey has 4 bananas. The monkey ate all of them. No bananas are left with him now.
When a number is subtracted from itself the difference is 0.Subtraction Using Backward Counting on a Number LineTo subtract 4 from 10, we first start with the bigger number 10 then move 4 steps (ones) backward as shown.
We reach at 6. So, 10 – 4 = 6.[Question: 777896]Subtracting within 20Subtracting a 1-digit number from a 2-digit numberCase 1: When the ones digit is same in both the numbers.Yajur has 15 paperclips. He lost 5 of them. How many paperclips are left with him?To find how many paperclips are left, we subtract the ones digit first. 5 ones – 5 ones = 0 ones. (As subtracting the number from itself gives 0.)Write tens digit (1) as it is.
So, 15 – 5 = 10.Case 2: When the ones digit in a 2-digit number is greater than the 1-digit number.There were 16 ants in a line. 4 ants diverged from the line. How many ants are left in the line now?To find how many ants are left in the line, we subtract the ones digit first.6 ones – 4 ones = 2 ones. Write 2 below the ones column.Now, write 1 as it is in the tens place as shown.So, 16 – 4 = 12.
Thus, there are 12 ants left in the line now.Subtracting by Backward CountingTo subtract 5 from 17, we begin at 17 and count 5 ones backward.
We reach 12. So, 17 – 5 = 12.Subtraction: Backward Counting on a Number LineLook at the number line shown below. It shows the numbers from 0 to 20.
Let us subtract 6 from 14. We start with the bigger number 14 and jump back 6 steps (ones).
We reach at 8. So, 14 – 6 = 8.Subtraction Stories in Real-Life Situations
Sheetal has 19 pencils. She gave 5 pencils to her brother Parag.Parag: How many pencils are left with you now?Sheetal: 14Parag: How?Sheetal: I subtracted the pencils given to you from the total number of pencils I had as follows.
So, 19 – 5 = 14.You can also count backward to subtract. Start from 19 and count back 5 ones as 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14.Sheetal: This is how I am left with 14 pencils.Addition and Subtraction RelationshipFor example, in the picture below there are 4 pineapples in the first set and 2 pineapples in the second set, so we say there are 6 pineapples altogether and we can write 4 + 2 = 6.
If we start with 6 pineapples and take away 2, we are left with 4. We can write 6 − 2 = 4.
Problem-Solving: Simultaneous Addition and SubtractionLet us look at the following problem:Example: A farmer had 12 mangoes. He sold 4 mangoes. Then he picked 6 more mangoes from his tree. How many mangoes does he have now?Sol: Let’s solve this step-by-step.1. The farmer had 12 mangoes.
He sold 4 mangoes, so we subtract:12−4=8
Now he has 8 mangoes.He then picked 6 more mangoes, so we add:8+6=14
The farmer now has 14 mangoes.
