Addition Tuesday

Today is our day to practise addition.

Warm Up

• Play Hit the Button to practise your number bonds to 10

Main Activity

Remember, when you are doing an adding sum, you can add the numbers in ANY order – even when you switch the numbers about, the answer is still the same e.g. 3 + 5 is the same as 5 + 3

In class, when we were adding numbers together, we found it was easier to swap the numbers around so we always started with the big number and then added on the small number

Have a go at the worksheets below. Look out for the different Primary 1 and Primary 2 worksheets.

Primary 1  –   write these in your jotter, please

Primary 2 Worksheet 

• Complete the worksheet below by writing the matching pairs in your jotter like this, please:

14 + 82 = 82 +14

• If you can, try and answer the sums too. You might need help from someone (or a calculator) to work out 3 of them! Good luck.

Extra Challenge

• If you have a dice at home, roll the dice twice then add the 2 numbers together. Switch the numbers round and write the sum the other way too!

• Look at the worksheet below to help you complete your extra challenge

• If you don’t have a dice, use this online dice rolling link: Online Dice

Game to Support Learning:
