Sorry for being dim, I am hoping to find out the current method taught in schools for adding and subtracting larger numbers. I know you add the tens first, then the units, but how do they do it if the units add up to 10 or more eg: 27+27?
Obviously the way I would do it is to set it out in columns, but how would you do it in your head? Are they supposed to be able to do this mentally in Y3?
Thanks for you help.
