Addition and Subtraction in Year 6

 Addition and Subtraction in Year 6

This term we have been exploring numbers up to ten million and looking closely at the value of the digits to help up with our calculations.

We used the place value counters to help us know when to carrying into the next column when adding and when to exchange from the next column in subtraction.





We then moved onto using either mental strategies, showing our thinking on a blank number line or formal written strategies such as the column method to solve calculations.
