Description of mathematics: 

Number Framework Stage 6

Required Resource Materials: 
Play money (Material Master 4-9).
Activity: 

Using Materials

Problem: “Find $89 + $527 + $11.”

Record the problem on the board or modelling book. This looks difficult. However, modelling 89 and 527 and 11 with play money and combining 89 + 11 as 100 makes it obvious that the answer is 100 + 527 = 627. Record the answer on the board or modelling book.

Using Number Properties

Examples: Use materials or imaging only if necessary. Most students should be able to transfer straight to  : Word stories and recording for:

970 + 3 213 + 30,    99 + 89 + 11 + 1,    678 + 234 – 78,   234 – 89 –11, 992 + 3 456 + 8,   2 345 + 5 + 995 – 345 ...
