Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Our knowledge of pairs that sum can help when solving subtraction problems and equations.
  2. Quickly remembering these number pairs is important for later work.

Common misconception

Children may try to count back from 10 rather than using knowledge of pairs that sum to 10.

Use practical equipment to make links between addition and subtraction explicit, demonstrating the relationship on cherry or bar models and number lines.

Keywords

  • Subtract - To separate or take one number away from another.

  • Difference - The result of subtracting one number from another.

  • Minuend - The first number in a subtraction; the number from which another number (the subtrahend) is to be subtracted.

  • Subtrahend - The number that is to be subtracted; the second number in a subtraction.

It is vital that children have developed a secure understanding of partitioning and the composition of numbers 6-10 before the focus on rapid recall is introduced. To encourage fluency with the link between addition and subtraction facts to ten, play games as part of daily classroom activities.
