Adding and subtracting one digit numbers from a two digit number follows on closely from the skill of adding and subtracting using only one digit numbers. At first, this calculating may rely on using equipment or fingers to check an answer, but will gradually progress to using only a number line and then perhaps visualizing that line mentally.
