Numeracy

Our focus this week is subtraction (2digit – 2digit) using the column method. If you want to

challenge yourself, try a 3digit-2digit in the hot selection!

Remember:

• set out the sum with the digits in the correct columns (ones under ones, tens under tens,

etc)

• start in the units/ones’ column

• if there is not enough on top, you will have to borrow a ten from the next column

Here are some examples:

STOP! Before you listen to the last part of Jack and the Pirate School, make a prediction as to

how the story will end. Write it down.

Once you have listened to the final part of the story you will find out if you were right! Maybe

your ending will be better…

Part 5 is the final part of this story, will Jack ever get home to see his family or will he have to

walk the plank?
