Our students have been very busy completing addition and subtraction tasks in their maths groups. We have been investigating different methods of working out answers: formal algorithms, jump strategy, split strategy and using concrete materials. 5/6J realised that the trickiest part of addition and subtraction using the formal/written method involved trading. My highlight for the week was that 'lightbulb' moment - a massive smile on a girl's face when she came and told me that she knows how to work the questions out - and that she found them easy now! Just goes to show what some hard work and commitment can do :)
