Addition and Subtraction within 20 Practice Pack (Year 1 and Year 2)
Add and take away with Pip! 44 practice pages for addition and subtraction within 20, for children aged 5 to 7. It suits Year 1 to Year 2.
Pip is a small, round creature who loves donuts and is always losing them, which makes Pip the perfect guide to adding and taking away. This pack teaches addition and subtraction within 20 one strategy at a time, in the order schools teach them: pictures first, then counting on and back along a number line, doubles and near doubles, making ten, fact families and missing numbers. Short quick-fire tests bring it all together. Print the pages you want, as often as you like.
It follows the English national curriculum: adding and subtracting within 20, number sentences with + − and =, and missing-number problems such as 7 = ? − 9 in Year 1, then adding and subtracting mentally, with ten more and ten less, in Year 2.
