Redistribution is a way of transforming a sum to make it easier to calculate mentally.

The inverse is the opposite or reverse operation. For example, subtraction is the inverse operation of addition.

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

In this unit pupils will add and subtract two 3-digit numbers using partitioning, adjusting, redistribution and bridging. In the future unit pupils will accurately and efficiently solve multi-step addition and subtraction problems. They will understand and explain how both addition and subtraction equations can be used to describe the same additive relationship.

In the prior unit pupils found pairs of number that composed 100 and positioned 3-digit numbers on a number line and estimated their position on unmarked number lines. They compared and ordered 3 digit numbers. In this unit pupils will add and subtract two 3-digit numbers using partitioning, adjusting, redistribution and bridging
