Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to select different multiples of thousands, hundreds and tens to use when performing subtraction calculations and a set of differentiated worksheets to record how to subtract pairs of four digit numbers for core and extension ability levels and pairs of three digit numbers for support ability levels with no exchange between place value.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use concrete objects to model and illustrate how to subtract pairs of four digit numbers with no exchange.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise mental and written calculation strategies to subtract pairs of numbers with up to four digits including exchange between place value. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
