 * **Mental Strategies**

Have students write the number 78 in the middle of the board have students suggest many number sentences or problems that equal 78. Have students do their own in their books or on a piece of scrap paper using a different number.

Revise mental strategies. Ask students to mentally calculate 28 + 52 = and 55 + = 81. Have students record the strategies that they used to get their answers. Students are encouraged to share their ideas. Repeat this step with four or five more examples.

Have students complete (choosing appropriate strategies worksheet).

Students discuss which strategy they chose and why they chose to use that strategy. ||  ||

 * **Formal Addition with Trading**

Model 462 + 125 with MAB materials. Complete the addition with MAB materials. Draw a table on the board with hundreds, tens and ones columns. Write the corresponding numbers into the correct columns e.g.|| Hundreds || Tens || Ones || Repeat with the equation 187 + 224. Demonstrate trading by replacing ten ones blocks with a ten block and trading it to the tens column. Choose students to demonstrate the process. Complete (3 – digit addition with trading to the tens and hundreds) worksheet.

 * **4 Digit Addition**

Write the numerals 8, 1, 0, 9, 4, 6, 3 and 5 on the board and have the students suggest 4 digit plus 4 digit addition problems from those numerals e.g. 1096 +8545 Use a student to demonstrate how to solve the problem for the class. Emphasise the importance of showing the trading. Use language like (we have 11 ones so we need to trade 10 ones into 1 ten etc).

In their books have students write 3 different problems using the numbers on the board and then answer the following questions:

What trading did you have to make to complete the addition above?

Why do you think it is important to record the trading in a formal algorithm for addition?

 * **Decomposition Strategy**

Revise with students subtraction with trading. If have access to an IWB teachers can use Rainforest Maths on the school server to demonstrate to students how to trade. When on Rainforest Maths Select Year 3 or 4 (depending on your year), subtraction +, 2 or 3 digit. Work through algorithms with students.

If do not have access to IWB, show students ‘Teach This’ poster demonstrating subtraction with trading.

 * **Equal Addends**

Use MAB’s to make the equation 229 – 98. Have a student use a calculator to get the answer. Demonstrate equal addends by rounding 98 to 100 and doing the same on the other side to get 231 – 100 have students work this out and compare the answer. Have students complete (Equal Additions) worksheet.

Model 235 – 176 using MAB Materials. Draw a table on the board with hundreds, tens and ones columns. Write the corresponding numbers into the correct columns e.g.|| Hundreds || Tens || Ones ||
 * 2 || 13 || 15 ||
 * - 11 || 17 || 6 ||
 * (2-2=0) || 5 (13-8=5) || 9 (15-6=9) ||

 * **Formal Subtraction**

Write some word problems on the board e.g.Australiascored 482 runs at cricket andNew Zealandscored 198 less. How many runs didNew Zealandscore? Have students identify the key information and write the problem as a formal algorithm.

Use this problem and others as a whole class activity. Model and revise with students various strategies they can use to solve such problems. In their books have students answer the following questions:

What strategy did you use to solve the problems?

Why do you think it is important to record the trading in formal algorithms for subtraction? ||  ||
