Y2 - using pictorial representations to add two-digit numbers
This video shows how children develop the use of pictures to help understand and solve two-digit addition with no exchanging. Children begin to use pictures rather than concrete resources as they can always draw what they need when coming across increasingly tricky problems.
Y2 - using pictorial representations to subtract two-digit numbers
We can also use pictures to help our understanding of column subtraction. This helps children to recognise from which number we are subtracting.
Y2 - subtracting with exchanging
When we subtract a larger digit from a smaller digit, we need to exchange from the next column to the left.
Y2 - deriving division facts
We can also use a similar representation to work out division facts for increasingly larger numbers.
