standard_description: Subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (positive or zero differences), 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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding within 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students add two-digit numbers using methods based on place value.

Activity Synthesis
“How can
\(23 + 31\)
help you solve
\(33 + 41\)
?” (The tens are changing again. In
\(33 + 41\)
, you are adding 2 tens total, so the sum of
\(23 + 31\)
increases by 20.
\(54 + 20 = 74\)
.)
