Check understanding
- Set out a columnar addition correctly with digits aligned by place value
- Carry out columnar subtraction with exchange (borrowing) when needed

“Can your child set out a sum like '347 + 265' or '512 − 278' in columns and work through it step by step, carrying or borrowing where needed?”
