👏🏼 Well done to ZM, MM, RA, EH, RL and DM who all logged on last week!

Main Task: Mental Addition

19.05.20         Addition

I can use a variety of mental strategies to help me with addition problems.

 

Activity 1: Recap

Today we will be looking at adding two 3-digit numbers.  One way to do this is by partitioning your two numbers.  If you need a reminder you could watch this clip (However I now have “Paaaartition…split the number…paaaartion…add the tens…” in my head and can’t get rid of it so beware!):   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCcedon_N8s.

Example:

456 + 233

400 + 50 + 6 + 200 + 30 + 3

(400 + 200) + (50 + 30) + (6 + 3)

600+ 80 + 9

689

* Note * You do not have to write your sums down like this using brackets, I just wanted to show you clearly what I was doing at each step. Do it however is easier for you!

 

Activity 2:

Calculate the total number of each item sold.

 

Activity 3:

Calculate the totals.

1. 316 + 280
2. 150 + 136
3. 170 + 211
4. 465 + 120
5. 530 + 128
6. 359 + 340

 

Activity 4:

Calculate how many cartons of soup were sold.

 

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found adding two 3-digit numbers using partitioning today. 🚦

 

Extension:

🌶  If you feel confident, why not try these missing number sums which are a little trickier:

💰 Well done to the five of you who won a Sumdog reward from me yesterday!  ZM, MM, RA, NM and DM you all smashed it! I’ll give another 200 coins to the 5 of you who get the most correct answers today – come on girls, we can’t have the boys taking all the coins again!
