Addition Year 2 (aged 6-7)

Mental addition continues to be a key area of maths in Year 2. A great deal of emphasis will be placed upon it. During the year children will be expected to:

•    add mentally a 2-digit number and ones (e.g. 25 + 6 =)

•    add mentally a 2-digit number and whole tens (e.g. 25 + 20 =)

•    add mentally two 2-digit numbers (e.g. 23 + 32 =)

•    add three small numbers (e.g. 2 + 3 + 7 =) 

•    know by heart pairs of numbers that total 20

•    respond rapidly to oral questions such as ‘What is the total of 23 and 10?’ 

•    solve missing number problems such as 12 + ? = 17.    •    understand addition as combining sets to make a total and that it can be done in any order

•    understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction and use this to check answers

•    continue to solve one-step problems that involve addition using concrete objects and pictorial representations

•    begin to add using written methods in columns

There are a number of skills to help with addition that children need to be made aware of. These include: •    putting the larger number first (e.g. arrange 6 + 45 as 45 + 6 and count on) •    looking for pairs that make 10 when adding three small numbers (e.g. 3 + 5 + 7 = 10 + 5 = 15)  •    being able to partition numbers to make them easy to add (e.g. 12 + 23 = 12 + 20 + 3 = 32 + 3) •    using knowledge of doubles to make addition easy  (6 + 7 is double 6 plus 1) •    mentally adding 9 by adding 10 and subtracting 1

Our Year 2 addition worksheets are second to none, combining clear layout, lively graphics and perhaps most importantly, each set concentrates on just one skill. There are usually four pages for each set. If your child finds it tricky it is well worth using more of the sheets to consolidate learning. Also, don’t forget our superb addition games which provide unlimited practice , re-inforce learning and are a fun change.  

Developing mental arithmetic skills

Number lines and bar modelling are used in many schools to help children bridge the gap between using concrete objects/pictures and adding mentally with no aids.

3. Try lots of different methods

Encourage your child to use a range of methods, including using objects, drawings, diagrams, and symbols, to solve addition and subtraction problems. To solve addition problems, your child might:

  • Use objects. They could count all the objects in groups being added together to find their total (so for 2 + 3, they would count all the objects together: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ). Then, then could begin counting on from one group to find the total (so for 2 + 3, they might start at 3 and count on: 3, 4, 5 ).
  • Use drawings such as number lines .
  • Use formal written methods such as column addition.

To solve subtraction problems, your child might:

  • Use objects and take some away to find the difference.
  • Put objects from two groups into two lines and compare them to find the difference.
  • Count backwards or use number lines .
  • Use written methods such as column subtraction.

Your child could use rounding to estimate their answers before calculating accurately. It can also be helpful to use more than one method to double-check calculations. For example, your child could check a subtraction question by adding up the answer and the number they subtracted to see if they get back to the number they started from.

Choose an addition or subtraction calculation to solve with your child

 We are setting the table for our family of four and one guest. How many people are eating altogether?   I’ve put out 8 forks. Is that right or is it too many? How many do we need to put back in the drawer?
You have sent 20 invitations out for your party. We have heard back from everybody and 3 people have told us they can’t come. How many people are coming to your party?

Discuss which method your child would use for these questions. Try to find as many ways as you can to solve the problems, and talk about the methods you and your child each preferred and why.

4. Make up story problems

Story problems can be a fun way to help your child understand addition and subtraction. And you can have fun making them up! Why not see if your child would like to create a story problem for you?

When creating an addition story problem, you could support your child by giving them objects to use or a picture to inspire their story. Once they’ve completed the word problem, ask them if they could write the calculations in the problem using symbols (‘+’, ‘–’, and ‘=’).

5. Try missing number problems

Missing number problems can be quite tricky for children. You can support your child by making the most of opportunities to practise missing number problems practically. For example, you can ask for your child’s help if you have a number of something but need a higher number:

‘I have 5 buttons but I need 15 buttons. How many more do I need?’

Ask your child how they worked it out. Then, you could ask them to write a calculation using numbers and symbols to explain how they did it.

5 + ? = 15.   They could have counted on from 5 to 15 to get 10. They could have counted back 5 from 15 to get 10. They may have known that 15 – 5 = 10. … and so on.
