Stage 5 EAEarly Additive

Aim: to partition, re-group numbers and use known facts to solve problems

The next slides show different strategies with diagrams. Try them out with multilink cubes

14 - 6 14 - 4 - 2 = 814 – 6

43 - 7

43 - 3 - 4 = 36

Why is this important?

Why bother teaching mental strategies, why can’t I just learn the written form?

• Merely following a procedure - rule following

• Lack of real understanding - mistakes are made or wrongly applied to problem solving

• Need mental ability to estimate & check answers

• It is often quicker to work something out mentally

Stage 7 AM

Advanced Multiplicative

An extension of the strategies and written form used in Stage 6 but working with decimal numbers.

Objectives• Understand the teaching model used for

teaching strategy: Numeracy Book 5

Eg page 35 or 38. Two activities: choose one and plan a short lesson around this.

Numeracy books are available in school, materials masters on NZ Maths.

Warming down

Have a go, in pairs

1: Additions/Subtraction Strategy Understandings

2: The blue loopy

3: Look at NZC. How do the AOs for number link to the numeracy stages?
