Count from 0 in 2s, 3s, and 5s. Use this to count objects or dots in 2s, 3s, and 5s.
Mentally build on known addition facts: e.g. 5 + 5 = 10 so 5 + 6 = 11, to help addition.
Understand and use “ – version of number bonds to 10”. e.g. 6 + 4 = 10 so 10 – 6 = 4.
Know 3 X 4 = count of 3 rows of 4 etc.

Know 12 ÷ 3 means split 12 equally between 3 people.
Know 1 metre = 100 centimetres.
Know even and odd for all numbers to 100.
Add two 2-digit numbers without regrouping.
Understand and use ‘- is inverse of +’. e.g. 7 + 8 = 15 so 15 – 8 = 7.
Know 4 X 3 = 3 X 4 etc. ‘Commutative’
Know 12 ÷ 3 is not same as 3 ÷ 12, etc. ‘Not commutative’
.
Measure 1m on child’s height to give them an estimate of 1m.
Solve missing number problems such as 3 + = 10, – 12 = 34 Generally use easier underlying sums.
Add a 1-digit to a 2-digit number with regrouping.
Subtract one 2-digit number from another with no regrouping. (Use Tens and Units headers if needed.)
Understand and use ‘÷ is inverse of X’. e.g, as 4 X 5 = 20, 20 ÷ 5 = 4, etc.
Understand fraction with 1 in top row (‘numerator’) ½ ⅓ ¼ and draw these on square, rectangle.
Use symbols £ and p. Know £1 is 100p. Be able to count amounts with coins.
Estimate numbers to nearest multiple of 10, seeing for example that 26 is closer to 30.
Use partitioning to support addition. e.g. 27 + 7 = 27 + 3 + 4 = 34.
Subtract 1-digit from 2-digit number with regrouping (with any aids needed).
Know 2 times table to 2 X 10 e.g. mentally, what is 6 times 2? See all values are even.
Know 2/4 = 1/4 + 1/4; 3/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 etc. See 2/4 = 1/2 in square.
Know 60 minutes is an hour. Tell time to closest 5 minutes including 1/4 past/to and half past.
Count on or back from any number in 10s.
Add two 2-digit numbers with regrouping.
Use partitioning 23 = 20 + 3 = 10 + 13 etc to support subtraction.
Know 10 times table to 100. e.g. mentally, what is 10 times 7?
Understand simple fractions of small numbers, e.g. 1/3 of 6. Relate to ÷.
See that minutes on clock give 5 times table.
[IF TIME PERMITS]
Estimate sum of two numbers to nearest multiple of 10.
Mentally add all pairs of 1 digit numbers including sums over 10.
Subtraction Games
Know 5 times table to 10 X 5 and recognise pattern.
Understand 1/2 + 1/2 = 1; 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1; 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1
Calculate change with simple examples.
Solve simple word problems in +, -, X or ÷. e.g 4 children each have 5 pencils – how many pencils in total?
Use 9 + 1 = 10 to add and subtract 9 mentally. Similarly, use 11 = 10 + 1 to add and subtract 11 mentally.
Use ‘bar modelling’ (see glossary) to solve word problems requiring subtraction.
Reason that a number not ending in 0 or 5 does not divide by 5.
Understand remainder for small division sums: 7 ÷ 3 is 2 remainder 1.
