Children oft find the inverse operation a little tricky. So we've created this Year 5 Inverse Operations (Addition and Subtraction) activity to provide a little extra support in the form of the game. The game is perfect to be used as part of a small intervention group and can be played in groups. There is a list of required resources and a set of instructions to allow any supporting adult the confidence to lead the game.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
  • Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
