Tree Kangaroos Add and Subtract by Tens

The Tree Kangaroo is between 1.6 and 2.13 feet in length, though its tail can be even longer than it is! In order to find the perfect tree to climb, they must make sure it has the perfect number of branches, which sometimes requires adding and subtracting. Because there are so many trees in their natural habitats (Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and the far north of Queensland, Australia), they do it very quickly by adding and subtracting by tens!
 
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
Add and subtract multiples of 10 and leftovers between 0 and 200
Identify the difference between two addends when that difference is a multiple of 10
