Today we had a look at adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing larger numbers. This should be covered in primary school, however if you need a refresher on any of these, the following websites are really handy.
Addition: http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/addition-column.html -> Look at the examples, clicking play to see how they work these out
Subtraction: http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/subtraction-regrouping.html -> Look at the examples, clicking play to see how they work these out
Multiplication: http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/multiplication-long.html -> Look at the examples, clicking play to see how they work these out
Division: When we are doing division, I don't want you to write an answer with a remainder. I want you to write it with decimals. Most of these examples show you how to do these.
http://www.wikihow.com/Do-Short-Division -> A good step by step method, although it does end with remainders.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X0Cjy7oEgw -> Starts by writing with remainder, however the last example does show how to calculate with decimals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX6ktbFIKdM -> A short but good example showing a division problem with a decimal answer.
Continue to work through the worksheet.
