Welcome back to Mr Lewis Teaches.
In this video, I explain column addition step by step, focusing on why we carry as well as how to do it. This lesson is designed for primary aged children to follow along, with clear explanations to help parents support learning at home without confusion or stress.
We cover:
• Lining numbers up correctly
• Adding the ones column first
• What carrying really means in place value
• Why 17 ones become 1 ten and 7 ones
• Why carried numbers move into the next column
• A pause-and-try activity with a full check
This video is ideal for:
• Home learning
• Building confidence with written methods
• Revising addition with regrouping
• Parents helping with maths homework
