Q1.
Why might it be useful to estimate the answer to an equation prior to calculation?
Estimating before calculating helps you set out your calculations on paper.
Estimating before calculating helps you to practise your adding strategies.
Estimating before calculating shortens the amount of time it takes to solve an equation.
Q2.
2. What is a suitable estimate for the equation: 451 082 + 339 721?
451 082 + 339 721 = 790 803
451 083 + 339 722 = 790 805
500 000 + 200 000 = 700 000

Q1.
Which equation could be used to estimate the answer to: 653 098 - 118 542?
600 000 - 200 000
653 010 - 118 550
653 098 - 118 542
Q2.
Which columns would require regrouping when column subtracting: 563 357 - 325 129?
The digits in the ones and hundreds columns.
The digits in the ones and tens columns.
The digits in the thousands and ten thousands columns.
Q3.
3. Use the column method to calculate the answer to: 561 998 - 138 422 =
123 576
223 576
323 576
Q4.
4. Use the column method to calculate the answer to: 183 609 - 21 788 =
161 921
162 821
182 921
Q5.
Why might bar modelling be useful?
Bar modelling helps us practise drawing straight lines.
Bar modelling offers us a chance to draw a nice picture to match our maths questions.
Bar modelling tells us when our answer is incorrect.
