Y2 - using part-whole models
You may have heard your child talking about 'part-whole models'. These pictorial representations help children to understand the relationship between addition and subtraction.
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 - pictorial representations of our times tables
When we have begun to understand the concept of multiplication, we can ue pictures to help us to solve increasingly challenging times tables. This video shows an easier example.
Y2 - deriving division facts
We can also use a similar representation to work out division facts for increasingly larger numbers.
