We have dusted off our addition and subtraction skills this week and begun to recall number bonds for one, two and some three digit numbers. Being able to break numbers down is useful when adding and subtracting larger quantities so is a skill that the children need to master. We have also been thinking about what else we know if we know a certain fact and have begun to look at the inverse operation and how we can use it to check our answers. For example:
If I know that 5+3=8, I also know that 8-3=5.
Why not encourage your child to have a go at Mathletics "Play Live" at home to practice their addition and subtraction facts?
