English

Maths 

• We are going to start our addition and subtraction block this term. This week we will:

  • compare number setnences
    
  • understand related facts
    
  • number bonds to 100 (multipes of 10)
    
  • add and minus ones
  • understand 10 more and 10 less

A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers. In the case of addition/subtraction, you use three numbers and get four facts.  The above facts are related as all 3 numbers have a relationship and can be used in addition and subtraction sums.

• Number bonds to 100 ( multipes of 10)
