The importance of understanding number and addition at the beginning of Year 1 cannot be underestimated, particularly at this time when most children coming into Year 1 have missed the last term of reception. It is important, therefore, to have plenty of simple addition activities to encourage knowledge of number bonds to 10. We have just published a great set of pages on addition up to 10 with the theme of ladybirds where children are asked to draw more spots on the ladybird to make the correct totals. Great fun!Go to Year 1 Addition
