Students can solve questions in horizontal or vertical format, whichever way they prefer. Addition β’ Stage 1: One-digit + one-digit (e.g., 3 + 5=?) β’ Stage 2: Two-digit + one-digit (e.g., 23 + 7=?) β’ Stage 3: Two-digit + two-digit with carrying (e.g., 28 + 15=?) β’ Stage 4: Advanced negative numbers (e.g., 5 + (-3) =?) β’ Stage 5: Advanced negative numbers (e.g., 25 + (-13)=?) Subtraction β’ Stage 1: One-digit β one-digit (e.g., 8 β 3=?) β’ Stage 2: Two-digit β one-digit (e.g., 42 β 6=?) β’ Stage 3: Two-digit β two-digit (e.g., 58 β 27=?) β’ Stage 4: Advanced: Negative numbers (e.g., 5 - (-3) = ?) β’ Stage 5: Advanced: Negative numbers (e.g., 25 - (-13) = ?)
