Maths: column addition

Thursday 10 October 2024

This week, we’ve loved doing column addition!

We began the week with column addition without exchanging and once your children were confident with this, we moved onto column addition with exchanging.

You can exchange 10 ones for 1 ten.

You can exchange 10 tens for 1 hundred.

You can exchange 10 hundreds for 1 thousand.

I’ve been wowed by your children’s column addition this week! They’ve demonstrated some fantastic knowledge of how and why we use column addition.

Help at home by asking  your children to complete the following calculations using column addition:

2910 + 5839 =

1092 + 7233 =

2649 + 7221 =

8323 + 1284 =
