Learning outcomes

# Title
1 Pupils add two 3-digit numbers using partitioning
2 Pupils add two 3-digit numbers using adjusting
3 Pupils add a pair of 2- or 3-digit numbers using redistribution
4 Pupils subtract a pair of 2- or 3-digit numbers, bridging a multiple of 10, using partitioning
5 Pupils subtract a pair of 2-digit numbers, crossing a ten or hundreds boundary, by finding the difference between them
6 Pupils subtract a pair of three-digit multiples of 10 within 1000 by finding the difference between them
7 Pupils evaluate the efficiency of strategies for subtracting from a 3-digit number
