We can add more than 2 numbers at a time and we can add them
in any order. Look at 3 + 5 + 7 = ?
We know that 3 and 7 makes 10 so we can add them together first.
Then we add 5 to 10.
3 + 7 + 5 = 15 is the same as 3 + 5 + 7 = 15
a 0 + 10 = 10 b 3 + = 10 c 1 + = 10

sticky notes
What to do:
Label the sticky notes, 1, 2, 3
and 4 and stick them on the
containers. Line up the containers and
stand at least two (2) big steps back from them. Take turns throwing
the 3 bean bags into the containers. The number on the container is the
amount of points you get. You can throw more than one bean bag into
a container. If you miss, you may throw again. If the bean bag goes
into a container, it must stay there.
Your aim is to score 6 points. If you don’t score 6, try again when
it’s your turn. You must find a different way to your partner. Record
your number fact here.
Your aim is to score 9 points. You must find a different way to your
partner. Record your number fact here.
What to do next:
How many different scores can you make? Record them below. Circle
the highest score you can make.

What to do:
This game is like tic tac toe. Choose a starting number on the grid and tell
your partner what it is. Roll the die and add the number you roll to your
chosen number. Say the addition fact and cover the answer with a counter.
The first person to cover 3 numbers in a row wins! Your row can go up,
down, across or diagonally.

Addition – counting on

51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
20 is 2 tens so we make 2 jumps.

1
Practise counting by 10s by reading down the columns on the grid
out loud to a partner. Now try doing it without looking at the grid.
Give yourself a tick for each column you can do.
2 Use the number grid to help you count on. Finish the facts.
a 14 + 10 = b 34 + 20 = c 27 + 10 =
d 25 + 30 = e 46 + 20 = f 35 + 30 =

Create your own addition facts by writing a number on the left for
each fact. Swap with a partner and answer each other’s facts.

a die
What to do:
Take turns rolling the die. Use either the double or near double strategy to
create a number fact and cover the answer on the chart. For example, if
you roll a 3, you could make 3 + 3 or 3 + 4. So you could cover 6 or 7.
If your answer is already covered, it is the other player’s turn. Play until
all the numbers are covered. Who has the most counters on the board
at the end of the game?

What to do:
Player 1, roll the die. Colour that number of counters on your first tens
frame on your own page. Player 2, do the same on your first tens frame.
Player 1, roll again. Add the 2 numbers in the frame until it is filled.
Write the addition fact you have made below. Player 2, do the same.
Each time you fill a frame and bridge a ten, take a counter. The first
person to fill 5 frames and get 5 counters wins!

Subtraction – relating addition and subtraction
What to do:
Mix up the counters. Without looking,
take a handful and work out the addition
and subtraction facts you can make
with the counters you have chosen.
Record the facts below.
You can work with your partner or
race against them.
Make 4 sets of facts.

one to find the difference. Write the number fact to match.

b Luca has $20. He spends some at the shop and has $14 left.
$ − $ = $
Sometimes we know the ending and the middle but we don’t know
the start of the problem. Look at this story.
Mrs Luke had some cows. She sold 4 at the market. She had 8 left.
We know she sold 4 cows. We know she ended up with 8. What
we don’t know is how many cows she started with.
− 4 = 8
A good way to solve this is to count on.
We count on 4 more starting at 8. 8 9 10 11 12

b Tia took her pocket money to the shop. She spent $14 and went
home with $3. How much pocket money did she have at the start?
$ − $ = $
Look at 45 − 23 = ?
How do we solve this? It helps to think of the numbers as tens and ones.
45 is 4 tens and 5 ones. 23 is 2 tens and 3 ones.
We subtract 2 tens and 3 ones from 45.
45 − 23 = 22

Our solution:
When we share things into groups evenly, every group is the same
or equal. We call this process division.
Here are 16 We want to share them
show ride tickets. between 4 children.
If we share the tickets out evenly, every child gets 4 tickets. Yay!
1 Look at these shares. Are they fair? the fair shares and the
ones that are not fair.
a b
c d
2 Draw 16 fish, sharing them between the 4 bowls. Make sure each
bowl has the same amount of fish.
What to do:
Make 4 yards with popsticks. They must be big enough to hold some
animals or counters.
a Share the 24 animals out fairly between the yards. How many
animals are in each yard? Draw your answer.
b Take the animals out and take away a yard. Share the animals
between the 3 yards. How many animals are in each yard now?
Draw your answer.
c What if there are only 2 yards. How many animals are in each yard?
Draw your answer.
What to do:
Share the counters to answer these questions. Every person must get a
fair share and you might have remainders.
a
Share 8 counters between you. b
Share 9 counters between you.
How many counters How many counters
do you each get? do you each get?
Is there any Is there any
remainder? remainder?
How many? How many?
c
Share 10 counters between you. d
Share 11 counters between you.
How many counters How many counters
do you each get? do you each get?
Is there any Is there any
remainder? remainder?
How many? How many?
What to do next:
What do you predict will happen if you share 12 counters? Will there be
a remainder? Explain your thinking.
What to do:
Take a handful of counters. It can be any amount.
a Share the counters into 2 equal groups. Record the number in
each group and the remainder (if there is one).
b Now you are going to share the same counters into 3 equal
groups. Will there be more or fewer counters in each group?
Write your prediction.
c Share the counters. Record the number in each group and the
remainder (if there is one). Was your prediction correct?
d Now share the same counters into 4 equal groups. Record the
number in each group and the remainder (if there is one).
