Children will use their strong understanding of place value to add and subtract two 4 digit numbers using exchanging.
We use concrete resources to physically show the children why an exchange is needed. Please see the video below for video aimed at Key Stage 2 children and their parents. This shows how to add two 3-digit numbers together using Dienes. The calculation shown is 263 + 119. Made by St Helena's C of E Primary School, Willoughby, Lincolnshire, UK.
