The wonderful written method
WALT to work out very long problems using the written method. Today we had to work out problems using the written method, also known as column maths. It was easy as I have known this strategy since I was 5. This is how you do it. So you put the highest number at the top ( in this case 97437) and the low number at the bottom. Then you add. 7+6=13. That is bigger than 10 so you need to put the 3 underneath the 7 and the 6 and put the one above. Then add the next numbers and plus one. Then plus the next one, carry the one and keep doing it. Then you have the answer. Do you find this easy?
