Printable version: Wednesday Maths blog week 5

The number discs help to break down the place value of the number.
If you complete this, please try the challenge: 
Here is the answer: answer
If you need further support, please have a look at the Adding and Subtracting BBC videos.
Please write in the blog if you need help or have any questions!
