This unit returns to additive thinking and introduces pupils to representing subtraction in columns, applying both their understanding of place value and of subtraction. They identify wholes and parts and label them with the language of minuend and subtrahend. Pupils link the notation of regrouping in column subtraction with representations using base ten resources. They also make decisions about which strategy is more efficient: mental method or column subtraction.

  1. Identify the minuend and subtrahend in column subtraction
  2. Use column subtraction to subtract from a 2- or 3-digit number
  3. Subtract from a 2-digit number using column subtraction with regrouping
  4. Subtract from a 3-digit number using column subtraction with regrouping
  5. Make efficient use of subtraction strategies including column subtraction
