Henry's Maths

DON'T SUBTRACT, ADD

  1. Moana has $81 and she gives her friend $18. How much money does Moana have left?
18 + 2 = 20
20 + 60 = 80
80 + 1 = 81
       18 + 63 = 81 so 81 - 18 = 63

  1. Jake collected $75 from his pocket money to buy a present for his mum. The present only costs $39 so how much change does he have? 
    39 +1=40 
    40+30=70
      70+5=75       
      39 + 36 =75 so 75 - 36=63
  1. Dad takes $93 with him to the fair. He comes back with $57. How much did he spend?
57 +3=60
60 +30=90
90+3=93
so 57+36=93 so 93-57=36
At the park the lolly seller has collected in $103.
She has to pay $88 out for buying lollies for the next day. How much money does she have left?
88+2=90
90+10=100
100+3=103
so 103 -88=15
  1. Sam has $110 and spends $89 on some playstation games he wanted. How much money does he have left?
89+1=90
90=20=110
                                so 110-89=21

  1. I start shopping with $64 and come home with $38. How much did I spend when I was out shopping? 
    38+2=40
     40 +20=60
     60+4=64
     so 64 -38 =26
The hard thing was counting in my head.
  1. I wanted to collect $100 for charity, but only managed to get $82. How much less than $100 is that? 
    82+8=90
              90+10=100
               so 100-82=18

We were learning that sometimes we can use our adding strategies to help us solve subtraction questions. I found counting in my head difficult.
