Super subtraction

In maths we have been working on subtraction chimney sums. They were a bit more difficult this time because we had to exchange. This is when we have to take a bigger number from a smaller number in the units column. We can’t do this so we need to exchange 1 ten for 10 units. We have been working on the sums on paper, the smart board and outside using chalk. We are getting better at them each time and we are looking forward to doing some more of these sums next week.
