Year 3 - Maths
Securing place value to 100 and applying to addition and subtraction
In this unit pupils will use known facts to find multiples of ten that compose 100 and use known facts to find complements to 100. They will add and subtract multiples of ten, bridging 100.
You will learn to use number facts to 20 to add multiples of 10 and bridge 100.
The language of unitising helps us to use number facts to 20 to add multiples of 10 crossing the hundreds. Crossing the tens boundary helps us to cross the 100s boundary if we think in tens.
An addend means any of the numbers that are added together. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Lack of fluency with number facts to 20 can hinder progress in applying them to multiples of ten. Correction: Ensure that fluency with number facts to 20 is secure or supported so that pupils can apply them.
