Calculations

Objective 1 - Using addition and subtraction to solve problems

In order to complete this objective, you need to be secure at using our formal written methods of addition and subtraction. Watch our videos below to see how we use column addition and subtraction at St. Thomas and how we set it out and why.

If you can accurately use these methods, you need to develop your mental addition and subtraction skills. Look at the YouTube video I've added.

Once you can use written and mental methods, have a go at solving some of our problems!
