Cool column addition

In Maths this week, year 4 have been adding 4 digit numbers using the column method. To understand the process behind adding digits that cross the 10s boundry, they first used place value charts and counters. This allowed them to physically exchange counters and move them into a different column. They then learnt the written method and how to set this out accurately in their books. By the end of this week, they have all been successfully adding with multiple exchanges.
