Unit E – Subtraction Sequences

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and illustrate the steps that can be used when completing standard written methods to subtract pairs of numbers with four or more digits. The class can explain how to correctly layout a calculation for decomposition.

Identify and illustrate the sequences of steps that can be used when completing standard written methods using decomposition to subtract pairs of numbers with four or more digits

Lesson One : Subtraction Charts
Practise using place value cards for ones, tens, hundreds and thousands to model and record how to subtract different pairs of numbers with more than four digits

Lesson Two : Subtraction Steps
Identify and record the calculation steps that need to be used when subtracting a pair of four digit numbers with exchange between place value

Lesson Three : Newsagents
Explore how to use standard written methods of calculation to solve problems involving the subtraction of pairs of four digit numbers to calculate items sold in a newsagents

Lesson Four : Greengrocer
Investigate how use standard written methods of calculation to solve problems subtracting numbers with more than four digits to find the number of items that have been stocked in a greengrocer’s shop

Lesson Five : Subtraction Corrections
Practise creating and correcting some different number calculations when subtracting pairs of numbers with more than four digits
-
Ancient Egyptian Pyramids
