      Use knowledge of calculating within 20 to solve problems involving statistics

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can use knowledge of calculating within 20 to solve problems involving statistics.

      Key learning points

      1. When adding three addends, it is efficient to first add two addends using a known fact e.g. pair to 10 or double.
      2. When adding, we can bridge 10 by partitioning a part so that we can ‘make 10’.
      3. When subtracting, we can bridge 10 by partitioning a part to create a part that is equal to the ones digit of whole.
      4. The difference can be found through subtraction.

      Keywords

      • Interpret - Understand and give meaning to mathematical data.

      • Efficient - Not wasting time or effort. An efficient strategy is one we can carry out easily.

      • Bridge 10 - Addition or subtraction that crosses the 10 boundary.

      • Difference - The result of subtracting one number from another. Way in which two or more things we are comparing are not the same.

      Common misconception

      Children may struggle to correctly read the information presented within the pictogram/bar chart.

      A ruler can be used to help children line up the top of the bar with the scale. Model this as a strategy to support accurate reading.

      Teacher tip

      During the checks in the first learning cycle, children are presented with an opportunity to generate questions around the data. This can create a bank of questions which can then be used as a scaffold for the task. Use this task as an opportunity to make the mathematics meaningful to your children.
