This week’s Maths homework is one simple addition problem… however, in class we’ve been challenging the children to come up with different ways of solving the problem. Here are 6 we came up with in class. The children can use these methods or come up with their own.
As adults we know that sometimes an addition problem (in the supermarket for example) needs us to do column addition, but sometimes a problem like 250 + 10 merely needs us to jump 10 on a number line. This is what we’re trying to practise. How many methods can we think of, and which is the best for this particular problem!
We’re always available to chat on the Year 3 email if you have any problems with the homework or any set.
