Differentiation:

• For learners needing support: use a physical number line strip and counters. Allow oral answers or drawing only.

• For learners with dyslexia: read the problem aloud, use coloured counters for tens/ones, and allow extra thinking time.

• For advanced learners: try adding three two-digit numbers or explain why tens-first is efficient.
