Column Addition of up to 4 Digits (B) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 4
Learning objective: Add numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition

Column Addition of up to 4 Digits (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

The second in our series of two worksheets on column addition of up to 4 digit numbers, this worksheet will see pupils adding pairs of numbers together where either one, two or three exchanges are required.

The worksheet begins with a reminder of a method that learners can use to efficiently find the sum of two single digit numbers: adding near doubles

Section B consists of 6 column addition questions that are already set up for learners. In section C there are 6 further questions to answer although this time pupils will have to set up the model for column addition themselves.

Students are required to find the sums of numbers with both the same and different number of digits.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

The near doubles strategy helps pupils efficiently find the sum of two single digit numbers by recognising when numbers are close to doubles they already know. For example, if adding 6 + 7, children can think '6 + 6 = 12, so 6 + 7 = 13'. This mental method builds number sense and can support pupils when they need to add single digits during column addition exchanges.
