Can I subtract 1-digit from 3-digit numbers?

Remember- If we are subtracting a larger ones digit than the digit in the ones column, we have to exchange one ten for 10 ones. E.g. 132- 6

6 is greater than 2, so I need to exchange a ten for 10 ones so that I could do 12 -6

Teddy’s example below shows this. You might want to draw base 10 out like him to help you.

Bronze- Look at each method and use it to answer the questions below it.

Check your answers to today's work here.

Practical activity

If you have a pack of cards at home you could choose 3 cards to make a 3-digit number and then choose another card (number) to subtract from it.

This could also work if you have a dice, roll 3 numbers to make your first 3-digit number and the next roll will give you a number to subtract from it.

If you do not have a pack of cards or dice, you could ask someone to choose numbers randomly.

Answer the fractions questions on this ‘Match of the Day’ video. This will help with today’s maths.

Maths task

Fractions work can be tricky and I know that some of you struggled with yesterday’s work, so we are going to go over it again. I want you to get a pencil and some paper and follow along with this video until 3 mins 30.

When we are finding a fraction of an amount we need to look at the denominator first.

Let's find 3/4 of 12.

Divide the number by the denominator. So 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

This has told us what one quarter of 12 is, but I want to know what 3 quarters is so…

Multiply your answer by the numerator. So 3 x 3 = 9

This is your answer, 3/4 of 12 is 9.

Let's do another one together: What is 5/9 of 27?

Divide the number by the denominator. So 27 ÷ 9 = 3.
Multiply your answer by the numerator. So 3 x 5 =15.

This is your answer, 5/9 of 27 is 15.

Have a go at this one by yourself. What is 2/8 of 32?

Divide the number by the denominator. So 32 ÷ 8 = ?
Multiply your answer by the numerator. So ? x 2 = ?

This is your answer, 2/8 of 32 is ?

Have a go at these by yourself. What is

2/5 of 35?
4/8 of 16?
7/10 of 80?

Extension: Have another look at this steps to success poster. Create your own poster like this that shows someone how to find a fraction of an amount. I would love for you to email it to me and I can put them up in the classroom.
