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

In an exciting classroom activity from Max Maths for Year 3, students are encouraged to practice their addition skills with numbers up to four digits, without the need for regrouping. The children are asked to form small groups, and each group receives a set of 15 numbered cards. These cards contain either 2-digit or 3-digit numbers. The challenge for the students is to sift through these cards and cleverly combine them into 5 distinct sets, where the sum of two cards equals the number on the third card in each set.

This activity is not only a test of the students' addition skills but also their speed and teamwork. The groups must work together efficiently to find all five sets as quickly as possible. Once a group believes they have correctly identified the sets, they signal their completion by raising their hand. The first group to finish and have all their sets correct is declared the winner of the challenge. An example provided shows how numbers are added together to reach a sum of 1000, illustrating the type of addition problems students will solve during this interactive and educational game.
