This week we are talking about Subtraction Strategies. Apart from counting backwards, Millie pointed out that we can start at the smallest number and count on up to the biggest number. The answer is the difference between the two numbers (how many times to had to count on). This is my favourite subtraction strategy because, for me, I feel more comfortable counting on than back.
Have a look at our number stories. We made a class book. We each chose whether to do a subtraction story about apples falling off a tree or fish being caught from the sea.
Here is the work of Flynn, Millie and Jake.
