Pupils progress to four-digit numbers and add 39, 41, 49 or 51. This develops the same mental strategy using numbers close to 40 and 50.
⬜ Square – Higher-Ability Level
Pupils work with four-digit numbers and a broader selection of near multiples, including 39, 49, 51, 59 and 61. This extends the strategy to numbers close to 40, 50 and 60.
