Check understanding
- Mentally calculate 45,000 + 8,000
- Mentally subtract 3,200 from 10,000 by counting up
- Use near-doubles: 2,500 + 2,600 = 5,100
“Can your child work out something like '4,700 − 1,300' in their head using what they know about place value — without needing to write it all out?”
