Lesson details
Key learning points
- Known strategies can be used to help us prepare for the addition of two 2-digit numbers.
- It is important to be able to calculate mentally before adding two 2-digit numbers.
Keywords
Calculate - To work out an answer, often by adding or subtracting.
Efficiently - Not wasting time or effort. An efficient strategy is one we can carry out easily.
Common misconception
Children may rely on the order of the addends rather than their place value when calculating. They may also default to counting on rather than using known facts.
Refer back to known facts and efficient strategies and model their use throughout, discussing the best strategy to use at each point and why. Model errors that can be made when not adding ones then tens for example, or in counting on in ones.
