This week the children in 3V have learnt a new method for solving addition questions: column addition! They have been very quick to grasp the basics and were soon able to solve trickier addition questions using exchanges. These were modelled first using concrete resources, before the children moved on to using the formal written method.
By Friday, they were so confident with the method that they were ready to 'Be the Teacher' and work together in pairs to identify mistakes in given addition problems, by solving the questions themselves using the column method, and comparing their method and results with the examples. They were very quick to spot mistakes and explain them in their pairs!
