Learning goals

  • We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
  • We are learning to recall multiplication facts for twos and apply to related division facts using doubling and halving.
  • We are learning to explore number sequences by twos, threes, fives and tens from any starting point.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
  • We are learning to use a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to follow and create number sentences to investigate number patterns and rules and to find emerging patterns.
  • We are learning to describe, continue and create number patterns and use addition and subtraction to identify the rule.
