A Perfect Fit

Programme Outline

Using known number facts and place value to add mentally

Sam and Amber are playing Pozzle – a game involving a 1–100 square. They abandon the game to help Uncle Zak load the spaceship. Uncle Zak wants them to arrange the loads in pairs that have a total weight of 100 kilograms. Sam works out how their previous game can help them and Numberella demonstrates the advantages of using a 100-square when adding two 2-digit numbers.
