Written Methods Year 1 and 2

Following on from our very successful Year 2 parent workshop here are a few reminders of the written methods we covered and we hope you will support your children with at home.

Jumping Method: e.g. 32 + 24 = 32

+10 +10 +1 +1 +1 +1

42 52 56

Doubling and Halving Diamonds: e.g. 42 + 42 =

42

40 2

80 4

84 Partitioning: e.g. 35 + 21 = 56 30 + 20 = 50 5 + 1 = 6 50 + 6 = 56

Don’t forget to complete the problem by finishing off the number sentence.

Using the 100 square

As well as using these methods children are encouraged to learn and know the 2s, 5s and 10s time tables by the end of year 2 as well as doubles to 20 and bonds to 10, 20 and 100. We hope this helps. Happy learning! Mrs Russell, Mrs Jones and Miss Gibbs
