Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Addition and subtraction facts for the pairs 5 and 3 and 6 and 3 can be related to known facts and strategies.
  2. 5 and 3 can be calculated using the five and a bit context.
  3. 6 and 3 can be calculated by relating it to 6 + 4 = 10 which is a known fact.

Keywords

  • Strategies - A plan of action designed to achieve an aim.

Common misconception

With these particular facts, children may resort to counting on three from five or six.

Begin by linking 5 + 3 in the context of 'five and a bit' to the explicit knowledge that 5 + 3 = 8 With 6 + 3, stress that this can easily be related to 6 + 4 which is a known fact.
