Key learning points
- When solving problems, it must be decided whether to add or subtract in order to solve it.
- If the ones digits crosses the tens boundary, it shows that the bridge 10 strategy can be used.
- A number line can be drawn or visualised to help solve problems efficiently.
Common misconception
When solving problems involving equations with more than two parts, children may automatically consider the numbers in the order given instead of considering the order they would find easier.
Encourage children to solve equations in different orders, comparing which they find easiest and articulating their thinking as they calculate.
Keywords
