Adding and Subtracting

We're looking at word problems in Maths this week, and this is what you need to remember:

Read the problem carefully.

Pick out the calculation.

Estimate!
Calculate!
Check!

Answer the problem.

Answering these problems can be, well, a problem, if you have forgotton how to add or subtract! Remind yourself of the number line method of subtraction on the school website: http://fairislemaths.blogspot.com/2008/11/at-fairisle-junior-school-we-want-your.html
