Main Task: Formal Subtraction
10.06.20 Subtraction
I can work out and record subtraction calculations using formal methods.
Today, building on what we were doing last week, we will be solving 5-digit subtraction sums which include borrowing.
Remember, if the number on the top row is larger than the number beneath it, then we must borrow from the column to the left
Activity 1: 5-digit numbers, with borrowing
Activity 2: Word Problems
Can you solve the following word problems? Beware of information that you don’t need!
*Remember* when setting out your sum the largest number must always go on top.
- Mike and Ashley both bought a car. Ashley’s car cost £18,509 whereas Mike’s car cost £10,739. What was the difference in price between the two cars?
- A fabric shop bought 87,329 metres of purple fabric and 45,762 metres of orange fabric. A customer then bought 12,738 metres of the purple fabric and 8,927 of the orange fabric. How many metres of purple fabric were left?

Therefore, your extension task today is to head over to Sumdog and answer as many questions as you can so that we can climb that leader board! Let’s go Primary 5! 🥇🤞🏻
