      Use known facts to add and subtract multiples of 100 within 1000

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can add and subtract multiples of 100

      Key learning points

      1. Known facts can be used to help calculate with multiples of a hundred.
      2. If we know that 2 ones plus 4 ones equals 6 ones we know that 2 100s plus 4 100s equals 6 100s.
      3. Number facts to 10 can help us to add and subtract multiples of a hundred.

      Keywords

      • Known facts - A known fact is something that you already know and can use to help you.

      • Multiple - A multiple is the result of multiplying a number by another whole number.

      Common misconception

      Pupils may find it difficult to connect calculating with hundreds with known facts.

      Pupils need to be encouraged to 'unitise' hundreds to make calculation easier, seeing 500 as 5 lots of one hundred.

      Teacher tip

      Pupils may need base ten blocks ('hundreds') to support their thinking and help them connect calculating with hundreds with known facts (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7 so 300 + 400 = 700). Number lines and bar models are also useful representations for pupils.
