1. Addition and Subtraction
Mental addition and subtraction – revision of strategies
Objectives
Day 1
Add and subtract near multiples of 10, 100, 1000.

Mental addition and subtraction – revision of strategies
Starter
Add/subtract 1-digit numbers to/from 4-digit numbers
Pre-requisite skills – to use this starter, drag this slide to the start of Day 1
Count round the class in steps of 6, beginning at 1456: 1456, 1462, 1468, 1474… until every child has had a turn. If we keep going, will anyone say 2056? (Yes – it’s 600 more than 1456 – that’s another 100 steps of 6!)
Repeat this time counting back in steps of 6 from If we keep going, will anyone say zero? (No – 1456 is not a multiple of 6 [multiples of 6 are even multiples of 3])

BUT before you do, what do you notice about 198 and 205?
Now work out the answers.
What calculation could you do that will help both of you?
What is the difference between your two answers?

Children can now go on to do differentiated GROUP ACTIVITIES. You can find Hamilton’s group activities in this unit’s TEACHING AND GROUP ACTIVITIES download.
WT: Add/subtract near multiples of 10, 100, 1000 to/from 5468.
ARE/GD: Add/subtract near multiples of 10, 100, 1000 to/from 23,456.

11. The Practice Sheet on this slide is suitable for most children.
Differentiated PRACTICE WORKSHEETS are available on Hamilton’s website in this unit’s PROCEDURAL FLUENCY box.
WT: Add/subtract multiples of 10, 100, 1000, then related near multiples (Sheet 1)
ARE/GD: Add/subtract near multiples of 10, 100 and 1000 (Sheet 2)

13. All these calculations can be worked out mentally!
Day 2: Use pairs to 100, other facts and place value to mentally add and subtract, including decimal numbers and money.
All these calculations can be worked out mentally!
Sometimes it helps to jot something down to help keep track of the steps in a mental method….but no written column methods are allowed today!
Spot another calculation where a ‘place value’ calculation might be an efficient strategy.
Discuss in pairs what number fact could be used to help find the answer.
What number fact can help this time?
What might be a useful mental strategy here?
£ □ = £3. Take feedback and agree that pairs to 100 will help ( ).
□ = Take feedback, e.g. pair to 1 (0.7 and 0.3) to help ‘bridge’ 46, or = 13.
3.25 – Suggest that ‘place value’ can be used to subtract 0.25, and then another 0.01 needs to be subtracted.
Children can now go on to do differentiated GROUP ACTIVITIES. You can find Hamilton’s group activities in this unit’s TEACHING AND GROUP ACTIVITIES download.
WT: Play fluency challenges – pairs to 100, £1 and 1 (numbers with 2dp), then play an online game using pairs to 1.
ARE/GD: Match mental calculations to answers, against the clock.

Day 3
Understand and use equivalence.
Year 5

16. Day 3: Understand and use equivalence.
Tell me what you see…
What do these equations mean?
Each side of the equals sign must be equal - the equation must balance.
= 200 – □ × 4 = □ × 2
48 ÷ 4 = 12 x □ × □ = 10 – 2.8 58 64 1 2
Calculate what number belongs in this box.
Year 5

17. Day 3: Understand and use equivalence.
Work in groups of four.
One person writes an addition with an answer of 72 at the top of the page, then folds it over.
Pass to the next person who writes a subtraction with an answer of 72, then folds it over.
The next person writes a multiplication with an answer of 72.
The last person writes a division with an answer of 72.
Open out the paper, then use these calculations to write lots of ‘balancing’ equations.
Choose a few to share with the class to check.
Year 5

18. Whole class activity: in pairs Solve: 45 × □ = 180 ÷ 2
Day 3: Understand and use equivalence.
Whole class activity: in pairs  
Solve: × □ = 180 ÷ 2
□ + 78 = 135 – 35
86 ÷ □ = 2 × 4.3
Then work in pairs to write your own set of three balancing equations, using a mix of operations in each one. The complete set of equations must include all four operations, some whole numbers and some decimals.
I’ll be looking out for equations to use to challenge everybody at the end of the lesson…!
Today’s GROUP ACTIVITY is a whole class activity. You can find more details in the unit’s TEACHING AND GROUP ACTIVITIES download.
WT/ARE/GD: Write sets of balancing equations, using a mix of operations in each equation and across each set.
