Being efficient means finding a way to solve a problem quickly whilst also maintaining accuracy.

A mental strategy is a method chosen to find something out which can be done in your head or with some jottings.

The process of unitising and exchanging between place values is known as regrouping.

In this unit pupils will revisit column addition with regrouping and column subtraction with exchanging to solve problems. In the future unit pupils will consolidate column addition with regrouping and column subtraction with exchanging to solve problems. They will use known facts and strategies to accurately and efficiently calculate and check.

In the prior unit pupils identified the minuend and the subtrahend in column subtraction and explained the column subtraction algorithm. They subtracted from a 2-digit number using column subtraction with exchanging. In this unit pupils will revisit column addition with regrouping and column subtraction with exchanging to solve problems.

In this unit pupils will revisit column addition with regrouping and column subtraction with exchanging to solve problems.
