Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, Addition up to 4 digits without regrouping

The Max Maths workbook for Year 3 provides a comprehensive practice on addition up to 4 digits without regrouping. This section, Practice 6, is designed to help students strengthen their addition skills through a variety of exercises. Initially, students are prompted to add numbers represented by counting blocks, fostering an understanding of place value and visualising the addition process. They are tasked with combining units, tens, hundreds, and thousands represented by these blocks to find the total sum.

Further exercises require students to add numeral figures directly. These problems range from simple two-digit additions to more complex four-digit ones. For instance, students may encounter problems like adding 161 to 716 or 363 to 331, where they must perform the addition without the need to regroup or carry over numbers. Moreover, the workbook encourages students to show their working, which is crucial for understanding the mechanics of addition and for teachers to assess the students' grasp of the concept. The practice culminates with exercises where students write word sentences for given addition sums, translating numerical expressions into written language, thereby enhancing their numerical literacy.
