Matching sets to numbers: ladybirds

Our first introduction to the idea of a number line and being able to match a set of objects to a number. Count the farm animals in the circle and draw a line to the correct number.

Bar modelling: subtract a single digit from 2-digits (harder)

Some excellent mental arithmetic work on subtracting a single digit from a 2-digit number.

More adding multiples of 10 to 2-digit and 3-digit numbers. The units remain the same in these questions.

Count back in tens from 3-digit numbers.
