Adjustment - An adjustment is a change to a number using either subtraction or addition.

Common misconception
Pupils may find it hard to understand that recalculating the adjusted part is an unnecessary step.
Display two sets of workings side-by-side. In the 1st, show the adjusted part being recalculated. In the 2nd, show it without recalculating the part. Pupils will hopefully see that the solution emerges from both.
