The result of adding two or more numbers.

Two together, often with something in common.

Any whole number that cannot be put into pairs.

Any whole number that can be put into pairs.

Find pairs of numbers that sum to 10

Maths

In this unit pupils will explain that addition is commutative. They will find pairs of numbers to 10 and add or subtract 1 from any number.  In the future unit pupils will demonstrate their fluency of addition and subtraction within ten. They will practise addition and subtraction strategies.

In prior learning, pupils will have learnt to count confidently and have developed a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers. In this unit pupils will explain that addition is commutative. They will find pairs of numbers that total 10 and add or subtract 1 to and from any number to 10.
