Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. The whole is the amount of money offered, one part is the total cost and the other part is the change.
  2. The change is the difference between the total cost and the amount of money given.
  3. You can use different subtraction strategies to calculate change.

Keywords

  • Difference - The result of subtracting one number from another is the difference.

  • Change - In money, change is the difference between the amount of money you use to pay and the value of what you are buying.

  • Number bonds - Number bonds are pairs of numbers which sum together to make another number.

Common misconception

Pupils will sometimes give incorrect number bond examples such as as 63 + 47 = 100

Model adding together the tens first.

If some pupils are not yet fluent in number bonds within 100 consider including scaffolds such as hundred squares and pre-drawn number lines. Encourage them to make links with number bonds for 10 e.g. 7 + 3 = 10 so 70 + 30 = 100
