Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Addition and subtraction strategies can make calculations easier.
- The decimal point can help ensure that digits with the same place value are combined.
- The decimal point will not help if the values are not measured in the same units.
Common misconception
When subtracting you always write the bigger number above the smaller number.
The context of spending money should help with this, as they will end up with a positive balance which is not possible .
Keywords
