2. This week, we have practiced writing COLUMN ADDITION on squared paper. Children have learned how to set these out correctly and space them. They have learned how to regroup in the tens and the ones when needed.

   Children, please complete the following calculations as column addition on the squared paper I have provided. Only write one number in every square and use a nice, sharp pencil so you can rub out if needed.

   a) 234 + 43=

   b) 363 + 105=

   c) 437 +228=

   d) 53 +83=

   e) 71 +94=

   f) 384 + 181=

   g) 193 + 316=

   h) 549 + 271 =

   i) 628 + 76 =

   (Children should now be able to recall calculations like 9+6 and 7+8 automatically now as they are solving the column additions. Parents, if you notice children struggling with these calculations that bridge over ten, please practise these on journeys whenever possible - in car, to the shops etc Rather than trying to add on fingers, encourage your child to use what they know already:)

   For example 7+8 we know 7+7=14 so 7+8 must be one more

   9+6 would be 9+1 to make ten then add 5 left to make 15

   5+8 think 5+5+3
