Maths D.L.O Reverse ability

W.A.L.T Solve subtraction problems by adding.

PK (Prior knowledge)

• Turning subtraction into addition
• Using tidy numbers and adding on to the largest numbers.
• Adding our circled numbers together

   My maths group learned how to solve subtraction problems by reversing subtractions into additions and using a number line this D.L.O will show you how to do it hope you enjoyed. I found this strategy prickly at first but it got a little bit easier the more I used it I will defiantly be using this strategy in the future.

The Present

My mum got me a present one day. I was playing on the xbox 360  at my house then my mum opened the blinds. I carried on playing my xbox. I was curious and the box burst open. A puppy it jumped out it has a fluffy body and it's eye where big and brown. I thought to myself, it's missing a leg. I got angry and threw the puppy off of my lap. It has 3 legs. I said “Get lost pft”.

The puppy found a red ball and ran over with it to me. I kicked the ball away. He chased it everywhere. “He's a clumsy dog” I said to myself. I chuckled a wee bit. He bought the ball back. I tried to ignore him then he came beside me and gave me those puppy eyes. How could I ignore? I grabbed my crutches and walked off outside and threw the ball down the driveway and we played all day long.

I see why my mum got him for me because he's my twin, we both are missing a leg. From then on I felt so happy I got my bestfriend.
