Lesson 5: Using patterns to subtract

This lesson will explore the relationships between numbers and how understanding these patterns can empower students to subtract with greater efficiency. They will partake in a make-believe market to practice their skills.

Lesson 4: Bridging down to the next ten

This lesson reviews the “bridging to the next 10” strategy for addition and introduces its application in subtraction. Students will learn how to use this strategy to make subtraction more efficient and develop a deeper understanding of number relationships. The will use a game, called Risk It For The Biscuit, to consolidate their learning.

Lesson 3: Use counting on to subtract

Students will use the counting on strategy to approach subtraction, where they start from the smaller number and count on to reach the larger number. This method helps students to build a deeper understanding of subtraction and develop stronger number sense. Students will play Strategic Subtraction, a fun card flipping game.

Lesson 2: Adding and subtracting 1, 10 and 100

Students will explore how to add and subtract 1, 10 and 100 using place value knowledge and number patterns. They will develop a strong understanding of how each digit changes, building fluency and number sense.

Lesson 1: Subtracting within 10

This lesson revisits number bonds to 10 and applies the concept to subtraction. Students will engage in an exciting game, called Subtraction Pyramid, to practise subtracting from 10, 20, and 100, reinforcing their skills in a fun and interactive way.

Lesson 15: Consolidating addition strategies

Students will use their addition strategies to plan and find the total cost of the ultimate holiday. Students can use the opportunity to apply and consolidate different strategies, such as number bonds, bridging to ten, doubles and near doubles, jump strategy, split strategy and column method.

Lesson 14: Solving addition word problems

Students will apply a range of addition strategies explored throughout this unit to solve word problems. They will also use the REPS strategy to develop a strong approach to effectively solving word problems. They will engage in an activity that involves solving word problems, which match to clues that will expose the ‘Secret Superhero’.

Lesson 12: Using column addition to problem-solve

Students will have an opportunity to apply and consolidate their column addition knowledge with regrouping in this lesson. They will engage in an activity that involves helping dogs match with their bones.
