Year 5 Addition four digits Higher

Addition

In these worksheets, children revisit the use of the column method for addition and learn to apply this method to numbers with more than four digits. As a support in this step the place value counters, and place value charts will be extremely helpful. These representations are particularly useful when performing calculations that require an exchange. Ask, "Will you need to make an exchange?" "Which columns will be affected if you do need exchange?" " How do you know?" Watch for: Children may not line up the numbers in the columns correctly.
