Blank Column Method Templates

Fourteen blank templates to support children in laying out column addition and subtraction.
There are templates for both the** expanded method and the short method**. Templates for the expanded method are colour coded to help children with where each of the totals need to be placed when they add the hundreds, tens and ones. Of course, these can be printed in black and white if you don’t need this for your teaching.
There are a variety of sheets depending on how many digits you are adding or subtracting and how many digits will appear in the answer.

In my classroom, I have a little stash of these that we use when we are doing addition and subtraction. It has always been helpful for younger children or those who find the lay out tricky to do independently.
I hope these are useful and save you time!
