Max Maths, Year 3, Try it, Addition up to 4 digits without regrouping (1)

In the 'Max Maths' curriculum for Year 3, students are encouraged to develop their addition skills through practical and visual methods. One of the exercises, 'Try it', focuses on adding numbers up to four digits without the need for regrouping. In this particular activity, students are presented with a fun and engaging task: they must count and add the number of blocks depicted in the exercise.

The 'Let's Try It' section includes several examples where children are given rows of block illustrations, each representing a number. They are then asked to add these blocks together to find the total sum. For instance, in part (a) of the exercise, students will see a sequence of blocks that they need to count individually and then combine to reach a final number. This hands-on approach helps to solidify their understanding of addition and provides a concrete representation of abstract numbers, making the concept of addition more accessible and easier to grasp for young learners.
