Addition of Integers Using Formal Methods WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Pupils will take a deep dive into using the column method for addition while working through this worksheet. Section A kicks off with 4 addition questions where the numbers are already drawn out on a square grid. Two questions need no regrouping, and 2 questions do; also, in 2 questions, the numbers to be added contain a different amount of digits.

Next, learners will complete four further addition questions; however, this time, they will have to put the numbers into the column addition layout themselves before completing the addition. A square grid is provided. Included is an addition of two numbers from words.

In section C, pupils will spot, explain, and correct the mistakes in two complete additions. Lastly, section D challenges learners' understanding of using the column method as they must fill in the blanks to complete three column additions.
