Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated templates to model how to use place value cards to to subtract pairs of numbers with more than four digits and a set of cards to generate different four and five digit numbers to use in matching subtraction calculations.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use place value cards to model how to subtract pairs of numbers with more than four digits.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to 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. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
