Solve problems by adding and subtracting to or from 3-digit numbers
I can solve problems by adding to and subtracting from 3-digit numbers.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Number lines can record the steps in our thinking when we are partitioning to add and subtract.
- The 1s digit does not change when you add or subtract a multiple of ten.
- Number facts to 10 help when crossing the 10s and 100s boundaries.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to partition 10s numbers to help them bridge a 100s boundary.
Encourage pupils to calculate the number of tens needed to add or subtract to the 100s number, then add or subtract the remainder.
Keywords
Bridge - Bridging is a strategy which uses addition or subtraction to cross a number boundary.
Partition - Partition means splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
100s boundary - The 100s boundary is the point at which the numbers change into 100s numbers, or from one set of hundreds to another.
