Next week we are going to be working on addition using the number line method. We have made a video to model this strategy (see below). Please could the children watch this video to become confident in the method. Watching it more than once will help them prepare for the lesson and allow them to then secure their understanding and apply it in school.
They could then have a go (in their home learning book) at adding together 2 two-digit numbers or if they are feeling more confident, a three-digit to a two-digit or
a three-digit to a three-digit. The numbers could be generated by rolling dice.
Stage 3b - Addition
Stage 3c - Addition
Alongside this method, you hope the children begin to see numbers that they can adjust to make the calculation easier. We call these ‘nearly numbers’.
You can find all the stages of addition under the tab 'Parents' - 'Maths Zone'- 'Journey through Addition'.
