Year 2 addition:make the next whole ten
Sometimes it's really good to give children a straightforward task that can be easily achieved if they approach it in the right way. These addition by counting on pages do just that. They ask what is needed to make the next whole ten eg 36 + ? = 40.
These can be worked out by counting on, but if enough practice is given eventually the pairs of numbers will become second nature, with children learning that 1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6 and 5 + 5 all make 10. It is this fast, confident recall that we are hoping to achieve.
This can be found in our great collection of addition pages for Year 2.
