We used our tens and units to help us do larger subtraction sums. We learned that if we know 9 – 4 = 5, then we can work out 19 – 4 = 15 and 29 – 4 = 25.

After that we played subtraction games on the i- pads or the computers.

Today we were in the I.C.T suite using the computer games to help us with our money work.
