Hamish and Clare were playing around with 2-digit numbers.

Hamish did this calculation: 64 - 46 = 18. He then added 18 to its reverse, 81, and got 99.

Claire wondered if you always get 99 this way. What do you think? 

Mathematical Learning @ St Monica's

Over the last few years in consultation with Leonie Anstey, we have implemented the Make, Say, Write, Do model in teaching Maths. This model is effective because it allows teachers to ensure students are able to understand what they are doing as well as express it in different ways. Teachers also place emphasis on using manipulatives and hands on activities for students to be successful at completing tasks. Below is a summary of the model and what we are committed to across K-6.

We believe evidence of learning in numeracy encompasses the following areas
