Learning goals
- We are learning to solve problems by using number sentences for addition or subtraction.
- We are learning to add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, using a variety of strategies, e.g. partitioning, doubles, near doubles, bridging to 10 and rearranging and regrouping of numbers.
- We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
