Add two 4-digit numbers with increased challenges

The worksheets increase in challenge. The Foundation worksheet is aimed at those working towards age expected. The Core worksheet is aimed at those working at age expected. The Higher worksheet is aimed at those working at greater depth. Children add two 4-digit numbers with one exchange in any column. The numbers can be made using place value counters in a place value chart, alongside the formal written method. When discussing where to start an addition, it is important to use language such as begin from the 鈥渟mallest value column鈥� rather than the 鈥渙nes column鈥� to avoid any misconceptions when decimals are introduced later in the year. After each column is added, ask, 鈥淒o you have enough ones/ tens/hundreds to make an exchange?" This question will be an important one in this worksheet , as the children do not know which column will be the one where an exchange is needed. Extra reasoning activity sheets
