Adding Multiples of 100

The Ministry is migrating nzmaths content to Tāhurangi.           
Relevant and up-to-date teaching resources are being moved to Tāhūrangi (tahurangi.education.govt.nz). 
When all identified resources have been successfully moved, this website will close. We expect this to be in June 2024. 
e-ako maths, e-ako Pāngarau, and e-ako PLD 360 will continue to be available.

Purpose:

You can help your child to practise adding multiples of 100 that make 1000.

What you need:

  • Game cards (PDF,60KB) . You can print these or make your own.
  • Cardboard.

What to do:

Glue the cards on to cardboard. Cut the number cards, shuffle them and deal three cards to each player.
The remaining cards are placed in a face down pile between the players.
Each player tries to make pairs that add to 1000 and place the pairs on the table. For example, 200 + 900 = 1000.
The players take turns to take a card from the pile. If the player can use it to make a pair they keep the card and place the pair on the table. If not, the card is returned to the bottom of the pile.
The winner is the first player to pair all of their cards.

What to expect your child to do:

To use their basic facts to 10 to help them correctly make pairs that add to 1000. For example 3 + 7 = 10 and 300 + 700 = 1000.

Variation:

  • Use the fact cards as flash cards and ask your child to quickly give you the missing number as you show them the cards.
  • Practise basic facts to 10 together.

He Whakawhitinga Kōrero:

  • Riwhiriwhia ngā kāri. Tohaina kia toru ki ia kaitākaro (Shuffle the cards. Deal out 3 cards to each player.)
  • Whakaputua ngā toenga kāri, ko ngā mata ki raro. (Put the rest of the cards face down in a pile.)
  • Tirohia mēnā kei a koe ētahi kāri tau takirua, ko te 1000 te tapeke. Whakatakotoria ēnā kāri ki mua i a koe.
  • Kei a koe i te tuatahi. Tangohia tētahi kāri tau. (Your turn first. Take a number card.)
  • Puritia mēnā ko tēnā tau hei whakaoti i tētahi takirua tau, ko te 1000 te tapeke. (Keep it, if that number completes a pair that totals 1000.)
  • Ki te kore e taea e tēnā kāri tētahi takirua tau te whakaoti, me whakahoki ki raro o te putunga kāri. (If you can’t complete number pair with that card, put it back on the bottom of the pile.)
  • Kua oti katoa aku kāri te whakatakoto hei takirua tau. Ko au te toa! (I have put down all of my cards as number pairs. I’m the winner.)
