Y3T2 Unit 2 Addition and subtraction
Date of issue: May. 2004

Objectives:

Extend understanding that more than two numbers can be added; add three or four single-digit numbers mentally, or two or four two-digit numbers with the help of apparatus or pencil and paper.
Use knowledge that addition can be done in any order to do mental calculations more efficiently. For example: put the larger number first and count on; add three or four small numbers by putting the largest number first and/or by finding pairs totalling 9, 10 or 11; partition into ‘5 and a bit’ when adding 6, 7, 8 or 9 (e.g. 47 + 8 = 45 + 2 + 5 + 3 = 50 + 5 = 55).
Repeat addition in a different order.
Check with an equivalent calculation.
