houses
95 – 46 (40, 6)

Stage 5At stage 5 children will be using this strategy with 2 digit numbers as follows:
75 – 56 (50, 6)75 – 50 = 2525 – 6 = 19
Stage 6At stage 6 children will be using this strategy with 2 and 3 digit numbers as follows:
752 – 456 (400, 50, 6)752 – 400 = 352352 – 50 = 302302 – 6 = 296
