What’s the Difference?

Programme Outline

Mental subtraction of 2-digit numbers by counting on from the lower number

Sam and Amber organise the Wattbots into teams for the Junk Throwing Olympics. Amber’s team wins the first round and Sam’s team wins the second round, but they can’t decide who is the overall winner. Numberella explains they need to work out the difference between the two scores and shows them how to use a 100-square to help them. The competition resumes and one of Sam’s Wattbots throws a piece of junk right into the path of Uncle Zak, who thinks it a very efficient way of loading junk.
