Good morning Primary 4,

Yesterday I went into school to finish tidying our classroom. I was surprised by how much stuff I have! The classroom is empty and my house is now very full. 😂

I hope you all managed to stay positive yesterday. What kinds of things did you do to stay positive? I listened to music, went out a walk with Stephen on his scooter, spoke with friends and smiled as much as possible. 😃

✏️ Here are today’s lessons:

Try out different levels on the Number range or try Multiples of 10/ 5/ 50.

Main Activity – Subtracting 3-digit numbers by 3-digit number✏️

I can count back accurately
I can demonstrate how to exchange

Read each sum carefully. Record each sum in your jotter, taking care to stack your digits neatly underneath each other. This will help you to clearly see your HTU columns. 😃

Remember when you are subtracting two digits and you ‘don’t have enough’ or ‘can’t do it’ you then need to exchange. We practised this by going to the left column, subtracting 1 (1 set of ten) and then exchanging this over to the column that needs it and marking a 1 beside that digit. Then you have enough to do the subtraction. 👍🏼

Watch the videos if you would like a reminder of how to exchange: (We call the Ones column, the Units)

If you can manage this mentally then that is brilliant. You can also use your fingers or number line to help you.

Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
