Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Add and Subtract Integers - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "Add and Subtract Integers" from masterthecurriculum.co.uk is a comprehensive resource designed to enhance the fluency and precision of students in Year 6. It aligns with the National Curriculum objective of solving multi-step problems using addition and subtraction, and deciding which operations and methods to employ. The worksheet provides differentiated tasks to cater to varying levels of ability, ranging from solving one-step word problems without exchanges to tackling multi-step problems requiring more complex calculations. The accompanying teaching slides and worksheets are tailored to support the learning process.

Vocabulary such as 'addition', 'subtraction', 'column addition', 'column subtraction', and 'inverse' is reinforced throughout the lesson. Students consolidate their understanding of column addition and subtraction, including the concept of 'exchange', and are encouraged to consider the appropriateness of the column method in different scenarios. For example, when adding 999, it might be more efficient to add 1,000 and then subtract 1. The materials include reasoning and problem-solving tasks to deepen understanding, and the key questions posed challenge students to reflect on their choice of method and the application of inverse operations. The worksheet concludes with answers to support self-assessment and the identification of any areas needing further clarification.
