Place value counters

Date: 5th Oct 2022 @ 11:51am

Last week, the children in year 5 were learning how to use place value counters for addition and subtraction. Some of the children didn't understand why the needed to use this method at first as they could do it quicker with written methods. It quickly became clear, however, that many didn't actually know what it meant to carry to the next column.

By the end of the week, everyone had a much better understanding of what addition and subtraction is!
