MORE THAN JUST GETTING THE ANSWER

Help Children See How Numbers Work Together

Being able to calculate isn't only about memorising answers. Strong number sense helps children recognise relationships and choose an efficient way to solve a problem.

These LOGICO activities introduce strategies that can help children become more flexible and confident when working with addition and subtraction.

CLEVER MATH STRATEGIES

What Will Children Practise?

Instead of approaching every calculation in exactly the same way, children explore useful relationships between numbers.

🔄 Switch Around Discover that changing the order of numbers in addition does not change the total — for example, 3 + 5 and 5 + 3. ✌️ Doubles Build fluency with useful number facts such as 4 + 4, 6 + 6 and other doubles. ➕ Doubles ± 1 Use a known double to help solve a nearby calculation such as 6 + 7. 🧩 Break Numbers Apart Break additions and subtractions into smaller, easier steps. 🔢 Work with Two-Digit Numbers Practise strategies that make calculations involving numbers from 10 to 20 easier to understand. 👨👩👧👦 Fact Families See the relationship between connected addition and subtraction facts.

SEE THE CONNECTION

What Is a Fact Family?

Fact families help children understand that addition and subtraction are connected.

7 + 5 = 12 5 + 7 = 12 12 − 7 = 5 12 − 5 = 7

7 + 5 = 12

5 + 7 = 12

12 − 7 = 5

12 − 5 = 7

Seeing these relationships can help children rely less on counting from the beginning every time.
