Addition in Year 2
On-screen activities can really help children add 1-digit numbers to 2-digit numbers and develop efficient mental methods of adding larger numbers.
All activities use colourful lively displays requiring children to input answers on the screen.
Printable marked answer sheets are available at the end of each set together with on-screen rewards for all correct answers. One minute timed challenges are also available.
