Maths - Add/sub



Welcome to the MATHS  - ADD/SUB  page.

2014

There are 3 addition / subtraction groups at present. Each group is working at a different level. Each group will have number a knowledge focus or two, and a strategy focus. You can find view these in the table below.

Today Maddison spoke with Grace about what she likes about the maths grids, and how it benefits her learning.





Addition and Subtraction strategies

Room 5 has 3 maths groups
Circles, Triangles and Squares (Square + are extension students)
Each group is at a different level and learning different strategies.

However, some students are more than capable of learning strategies from the next level up, and some also need to revise previously learned strategies.

Below is a guide to what students have learned, are learning and will be learning. This begins with a list of the strategies for each maths STAGE. Students in year 4 are expected to be at the middle to upper level of EA.

So     AC = Stage 4
AC/EA = late stage 4, early 5
EA = middle to late stage 5
EA/AA  = late stage 5, early stage 6
AA = stage 6

YEAR 4 students are expected to be at EA in order to be 'at' standard

Below is a list of the strategies for each stage, with video and powerpoint links.

I appreciate it is a little different from how we did it. Please note that these are strategies to solve maths problems, they are NOT the only strategy. Students need to learn a range of strategies, and choose the more efficient.
The good old way we learned of   234
                                                   +  145
                                                   -------
                                                       379
is still a strategy, and should be taught.


AC = Stage 4 strategies 

Counting on the the biggest number first             3, 66 -->   66 + 3 = 69
Change unknown                                                   4 + ? = 7
Adding tens                                                            14 + 30 = ?
Subtracting tens                                                      37 - 20 = ?
Adding ones and tens                                             23 + 32 = ?
Subtracting ones and tens                                       37 - 15 = ?
Missing ones and tens                                             32 + ? = 45          

AC/EA = late stage 4 / early stage 5      

Making tens                             6 + 2 + 4 as   6 +  4 = 10 + 2 = 12
Compatible numbers               3 + 4 + 2 - 6     as  4 + 2 = 6 so 6 -6 = 0 (3 are left)
Subtraction in parts                 14 - 6 = ?  as 14 - 4 = 10, 10 - 2 = 8
Up and over tens                      8 + ? = 14

EA = Stage 5     
Adding in parts                       8 + 7 = 15  as 8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 5 = 15
More comparisons                  Tim has 14, Steve has 18. 
                                                 How many more does Steve have?
                                                 As 14 + 4 = 18, 18 - 4 = 14


EA / AA = late stage 5   
Saving hundreds                    286 + ? = 400
Jumping the number line      29 + ? = 63
Don't subtract! Add               54 - 29 =    as 29 + ? = 54

AA = Stage 6    

When one number is near 100 - add        55 + 98 as 53 + 100 = 153  ( + - strategy)
When one number is near 100 - sub         173 - 98  as  175 - 100 = 75 ( + + strategy)
