Lesson details
Key learning points
- We can use strategies we already know to help us prepare for the addition of two 2-digit numbers.
- It is important to be able to calculate mentally before adding two 2-digit numbers.
Keywords
Calculate - To work out an answer, often by adding or subtracting.
Efficiently - Not wasting time or effort. An efficient strategy is one we can carry out easily.
Common misconception
Children may not be able to mentally calculate or identify efficient strategies and so revert to counting on in ones.
Assess use of mental strategies before starting this lesson as it is important to be fluent in using strategies with smaller numbers before working with larger numbers to avoid reverting to inefficient counting strategies.
