'carrying over' in maths problems

[summer111]

Can anyone tell me when primary school children are taught how to calculate using the carrying over method that I'm sure we all learned in school? My dd is in Year 5 and continues to do her calculations mentally. However, I've just started her in a weekend extra tuition class (pre 11 plus) and she came home having been taught to multiply 'old style'.
Hope I'm making myself clear!

If you do teach your children the column method for subtraction, don't use the word 'borrow' - you 'exchange' one of the tens for ten units, so the number at the top of the tens column is reduced by one, rather than 'paying back' and reducing the number of tens on the bottom line of the sum.
