Year 1 is a fantastic year to watch the rapid progress your children will make with adding ‘in their heads’. By the end of the year they will know addition facts to a total of 5 and know all pairs of numbers with a total of 10.
They will know that addition can be done in any order, as well as writing simple number sentences (eg 2 + 3 = 5). With practical help they will also be able to add 1-digit to a 2-digit number and use informal written notes to help them.
Confidence with these first steps is crucial to later success and the worksheets below will help achieve this.
