This week, the children have been recapping subtracting 4 digit numbers from 4 digit numbers with one exchange. From here they began to consolidate their knowledge when subtracting using formal written methods. Here, place value is extremely important and the knowledge of the value of each digit in its place value. By the end of the week, most of the children are feeling confident when subtracting any given number, be it 4 or 5 digits from a 4 digit number with multiple exchanges.
All the children should be very proud of their achievements this week.
