standard_description: Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for subtracting numbers within 1,000. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful as students relate subtraction algorithms to strategies they have used to subtract within 1,000.

Activity Synthesis
“How was place value helpful as you subtracted these numbers?” (When we were subtracting 10, only the tens place changed. For the last expression we were able to subtract the tens, then the ones.)
Consider asking:
“Who can restate _____'s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone approach the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to _____’s strategy?”
