Hexagon Maths Group





This group of students has been learning about how to subtract when the amount being subtracted is near a hundred. At first there was a bit of confusion about taking away 100 and then giving back the extras. However, we tried a few different materials to model the problems, and eventually settled on the use of magnetic MAB. Our next steps will be modeling using a number line, and we will then be working towards visualising/imaging these problems without the use of a physical model. In the meantime, we need lots of practice in modeling. 
Ask your child some problems like the ones listed below:

156 - 99             174 - 98             321 - 98             237 - 199             546 - 198             432 - 197
