Hi all

This week in Ash & Aspen we are busy finding the inverse for addition and subtraction problems.  This is proving to be very challenging! Any support at home you can give the children will be beneficial.

For example if presented with the question   ______ – 20 = 40, we can add the 20 + 40 back together to make 60.  We then must prove that it works by completing 60-20=40.  If the 3 numbers match, then we are correct.  If they do not match we need to check for errors in our adding or subtracting.

Once the children are secure in doing this with 2 digit numbers, move onto 3 digit numbers.

Many thanks,

Mrs Toms
