Lesson Details

Key learning points

The addends are written in columns with the same value digits in the same column
Start by adding numbers with the smallest place value first
Record the sum below the addends

Common misconception

Pupils may refer to adding numbers in the tens as 3 + 6 rather than 30 + 60

Encourage them to refer to the tens numbers as tens, and use the language appropriately. In 34 + 44, we add 4 and 4 together and then we add 30 and 40 together. This will support their reasoning as they progress in this unit.
