Why this why now

This unit applies known facts and explores strategies for adding within ten. Pupils use understanding of commutativity to reorder equations to calculate efficiently. The facts in this unit will then be applied to calculating beyond 20.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Recall number bonds to 10 and 20
  • Use mental strategies such as counting on and bridging 10
  • Represent calculations with concrete or visual models

Calculating within 20

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.
