Splitting Numbers
L.I: To add by splitting one number to make a tidy number
Today I practice Splitting numbers. I had to do mutiple tasks. One was a diagram. The diagram shows how I solved the probably. The other task is a story problem and I have to use the main number question in the story. The third task was practising splitting numbers. The final task was explaining how I solved 65 + 8. To figure it out what I did was split 8 into 3 and 5. The n add 5 to 65 to make 70. Then finally add 3 to 70 to create 73.

Next we learnt that FANBOYS are conjunctions to join sentences. It stands for (For,And, Nor, But, Or, Yet and So) . We hen tested our understanding by recording mixed up sentences. I have created this DLO which I hope it helps your understanding.
