Lesson details
Key learning points
- Knowledge of number facts to 20 can support calculation across the 100 boundary.
- If 8 plus 7 is equal to 15 then 98 plus 7 is equal to 90 plus 15 which equals 105
- Knowledge of place value can help when counting forwards across the 100 boundary.
Keywords

Common misconception
Pupils may not partition numbers in efficient ways to add and subtract them.
