Mental Addition Assessment
This worksheet contains problems associated with nine commonly used mental addition strategies. It is a great assessment tool for use after completing the Year 2 Mental Addition Strategies unit. The assessment provides opportunities for students to identify the nine types of mental addition strategies and answer questions, to demonstrate their understanding of them.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
