Max Maths, Year 6, Practice, Addition of 2- and 3-digit numbers

In the Max Maths Year 6 practice section for addition, students are presented with a series of exercises designed to strengthen their ability to add 2- and 3-digit numbers. The task requires them to perform simple arithmetic by adding pairs of numbers, providing both straightforward and slightly more complex combinations to ensure a thorough understanding of the addition process. For instance, students are asked to calculate sums such as 183 plus 215 and 145 plus 240, which are examples of adding two 3-digit numbers. They are also challenged with sums like 702 plus 93 and 842 plus 36, where a 3-digit number is added to a 2-digit number, testing their ability to align digits correctly and handle any carrying over of values.

The 'Let's Practise' section encourages students to demonstrate their working methods for additional sums. They are tasked with adding numbers such as 524 to 235 and 257 to 62, which not only reinforces their computational skills but also emphasises the importance of showing the steps taken to reach the answer. This practice not only aids in cementing their mathematical knowledge but also prepares them for more complex problems in the future. To further support their learning, students are directed to workbook (WB) pages 38 to 47, where they can find more exercises and examples to work through, ensuring they gain ample practice in the addition of multi-digit numbers.
