Maths

In this unit pupils will add 3 addends. They will use a strategy such as finding 2 addends to total 10 or 2 numbers to bridge though 10.  In the future unit pupils will add and subtract 1s and 10s from 2 digit numbers. They will use number facts to add/subtract a single-digit number to/from a 2-digit number .They will use a part-part-whole model to represent addition and subtraction.

In the prior unit pupils revisited addition and subtraction within ten. They consolidated addition and subtraction strategies. In this unit pupils will add 3 addends. They will use a strategy such as finding 2 addends to total 10 or 2 numbers to bridge though 10.
