If pupils’ books get messy because of the crossings out and columns of numbers when they do subtraction, if some of them take the top number from the bottom number when things get difficult, if they get into a muddle when they encounter zeros on the top line, then do give this a go. Long ago, this is how subtraction was taught in British schools, and it’s still taught in schools in Europe. It’s a very clear PowerPoint with animation and narration. I first used this method with a Y5/6 class who had been taught to use the American algorithm. They found it tricky to master and I found their work equally tricky to mark because of the presentation, So I gave them a choice: use the method taught by their previous teacher, or use this one. Provided they were getting the right answers, it was fine with me. Not one of them continued with the old method.

Fun whole class PowerPoint activity for primary or KS3 classes: English with a bit of maths. Great for starters or plenaries. Teacher calls out a number (eg 12) which is the sum of two digits showing on the screen. Pupils choose two numbers (eg 8 + 4) that add up to the teacher’s number and, if correct, they turn those two cards to reveal two letters. As more letters are revealed, the spelling begins: pupils make as many words as they can. They are scored according to the number of letters they contain. The teacher may decide to set a minimum word length. The maths element can be made more difficult for more able classes ( eg '12 is the product of of which two numbers? ’ - Pupils could choose 4 and 3, 6 and 2, 12 and 1). Or it can be omitted entirely, and pupils simply select numbers to turn. There are 8 games included in the PowerPoint. And some frantic music. Turn your computer sound down if it gets too much!
