Today 3LS have been introduced to a new method of addition, column addition. For many children, this was the first time they had met this method and they have amazed me.
Children have used manipulatives and grappled with this new strategy. Their presentation in their books has been beautiful too.
I wonder who can demonstrate this new addition method at home. Maybe you could use big, medium and small Lego bricks, different pasta shapes or different sized pebbles or beads to represent your hundreds, tens and ones. Remember always work from right to left.
