In 3V this week we have been learning a new skill: how to solve addition questions using the column method. This builds on the children's recent Place Value work.
To solve addition problems using the column method, it is vital to keep the different digits in the correct place value columns - otherwise chaos will ensue! The children have been practising setting out their questions in the new format and getting used to the new method.
This morning, we looked at what happens when we need to bridge ten using the column method. We have been using practical resources, such as Dienes, and Place Value Grids to support the children's understanding. An example is shown below, to help you support children at home if they would like to practise what they have learnt.
We will be spending the next few maths lessons practising our new skills until we are completely confident with column addition.
