Use knowledge of addition and subtraction facts within 10 to add and subtract within 20

Lesson details

Learning outcome

I can use knowledge of addition and subtraction facts within 10 to add and subtract within 20

Key learning points

  1. Addition facts within ten can be applied to addition within 20
  2. Subtraction facts within ten can be applied to subtraction within 20
  3. If 3 + 2 is equal to 5 then 13 + 2 is equal to 15
  4. If 5 - 2 is equal to 3 then 15 - 2 is equal to 13

Keywords

  • Addition - To find the total, or sum, by combining two or more parts (addends), or to increase an amount by adding another.

  • Subtraction - To partition one part from another (the subtrahend from the difference), or to decrease an amount by taking an amount away.

  • Plus - A synonym for add, represented by the symbol +

  • Minus - A synonym for add, represented by the symbol -

Common misconception

Children may rely on counting strategies instead of using known facts to add or subtract from larger numbers.

Make comparisons between addition and subtraction within 10 and within 20, looking for patterns. Make sure children notice that the ones digit stays the same when we add and subtract numbers with the same ones digits such as 5 - 2 and 15 - 2

Teacher tip

Use number lines to show addition and subtraction within 10 and within 20, drawing out the similarities. Make sure children notice that the ones digit stays the same when we add or subtract numbers with the same ones digits. Use the inverse relationship to check.
