Pre-requisite skills – to use this starter, drag this slide to the start of Day 2
Say 15 minus 4 and ask children to write the answer as quickly as they can on their whiteboards. Give the first five children to answer correctly a cube. Repeat with other subtractions (1-digit from a teens number). Use different mathematical vocabulary for subtraction – subtract, take away, minus, what’s the difference between. The child with the most cubes at the end of the session is the winner.

6. 347 + 5 Day 1: Add 1-digit numbers to 3-digit numbers.
Think, pair, share – what different strategies could you use to find ?
We could just count on 5 from 347… 348, 349, 350, 351, 352, but is there a better way?
We could use number facts:
7 + 5 = 12 so = 352.
Can you see why?
We could ‘bridge the 10’, adding 5 in two steps:
= ?

Children can now go on to do differentiated GROUP ACTIVITIES. You can find Hamilton’s group activities in this unit’s TEACHING AND GROUP ACTIVITIES download.
WT/ARE/GD: Play a card game where 1-digit numbers are added to 3-digit numbers OR a card and dice game.

= 345. We can check by using the inverse operation!
Choose the strategy that works best for you rather than count on or back in 1s. Good mathematicians can spot when to use number facts or bridging 10.
What is ? We can use one of the strategies for addition we used in the last lesson.
On your whiteboards write two other subtractions that involve crossing a multiple of 10.
Today would be a great day to use a problem-solving investigation – Magical Subtractions – as the group activity, which you can find in this unit’s IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION box on Hamilton’s website.

Well Done! You’ve completed this unit.
Objectives
Day 1
Add 1-digit numbers to 3-digit numbers.

16. Problem solving and reasoning questions
Complete the bar models:
How many times can 7 be subtracted from 232 before the answer is less than 200?
Kit says ‘If I keep adding 6 to 152, I’ll eventually reach exactly 200’. Is he correct? ?

17. Problem solving and reasoning: Answers
Complete the bar models:
Answers of 349 and 631 for the third and fourth questions respectively result from children adding rather than subtracting the 1-digit number. Other errors may arise from children counting on or back in 1s rather than using number facts to bridge 10s
How many times can 7 be subtracted from 232 before the answer is less than 200? 4 times – counting back in 7s from 232: 225, 218, 211, 204, 197.
Kit says ‘If I keep adding 6 to 152, I’ll eventually reach exactly 200’. Is he correct? He is - counting on in 6s from 152: 158, 164, 170, 176, 182, 188, 194, 200
