Sometimes the addition requires us to exchange ten ones for one ten and sometimes it requires us to exchange ten tens for one hundred. It helped us understand that a digit - 4 for instance, depending on which column it lays can mean 4 or 40 or 400. If we are adding a 4 digit in the tens column, we are really adding 40! ![](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/images/Blogs/Picture8.jpg) ![](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/images/Blogs/Picture7.jpg) [ Year 3 enjoying the library](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/blog/2022-11-01-11-15-00-year-3-enjoying-the-library) [Year 3 Cooking scrambled eggs ](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/blog/2022-11-03-11-00-00-year-3-cooking-scrambled-eggs) ![The William Hogarth School](https://files.schudio.com/william-hogarth-school-3/images/logo/HogarthLogo_White_(1).png) ### The William Hogarth School Duke Road Chiswick W4 2JR 020 8994 4782 020 8742 7736 ### Useful Links - [LGFLmail](https://mail.lgflmail.org/owa/auth/logon.aspx?replaceCurrent=1&url=https%3a%2f%2fmail.lgflmail.org%2fowa%2f) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpay.com/) - [Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [Opening Hours](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/opening-hours) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/search?q=%40hogarth_the&src=typd) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/the_william_hogarth_school/) © Copyright 2017–2026 The William Hogarth School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.williamhogarthschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
