Number > Addition and Subtraction

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, representing problems using number sentences and solve using part-part-whole reasoning and a variety of calculation strategies.

What this means

Students interpret word problems (addition and subtraction) and write appropriate number sentences.

  • Number sentences; equation, e.g. 25 + 17 = 42
  • Calculation strategies; partitioning, bridging ten, doubles, near doubles.

Tips

  • A part-part-whole diagram will help students interpret and solve addition/subtraction problems.
  • Doubles and near doubles are new this year.
