Addition resources

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss grouping nice numbers, and then do a problem using this method, then design a question showing how it uses the method.

Students estimate an addition problem, share their methods, discuss the rounding method, and then do more problems using rounding.

Students solve different forms of addition equations.

Students use the additive identity and the commutative property to assist them to solve simple equations without calculating.

Students solve problems involving money by finding the total spent and the change from a given amount.

Students work out how much time some bus trips take.

Students complete a number of equations adding to 36 on an addition wheel.

Students write down an explanation of how the front-end estimation strategy works in addition problems to give information on their understanding of the strategy.

Students find and write the numbers to complete equations that add to 10.

Students use number properties to solve problems without calculating.

Students work out the smallest and largest amounts of coins and notes in a piggy bank from statements about the number and type of money.

Students discuss making an initial estimate in addition problems using the front-end method followed by compensation to get a more accurate estimate. They then use this method on two addition problems.

Students work out which row of coins represents a given amount.

In this practical task, students use plastic coins and paper notes to work out three different ways to make the same amount of money.

Students use addition and subtraction to solve story problems and show their equations.

Students write number sentences for story problems, and create story problems from number sentences.

Students complete linear equations by selecting from a range of numbers.

Students show their understanding of the properties of zero and one, by filling in the missing numbers or signs (+ or ×) in a range of equations.

Students solve and write appropriate equations for story problems.

Students use given numbers to work out rules for number machines.

Students explore the additive identity by deciding whether addition and subtraction number sentences are true or false.

Students use all four operations to perform calculations using decimal values.

Students perform addition calculations based on information given in a table.
