WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MATHEMATICS? Level 1 Add / subtract a 1-digit number to or from a 1 or 2-digit number within a decade: e.g. 42+ 6 or 65 – 3. Counting on or back is a good strategy at this level. Level 2 Add / subtract a 1-digit number to or from a 1 or 2-digit number across decades: e.g. 45+ 6, 65 – 8 or 9+5. Practise your bridge to 10 strategy here. Level 3 Add / subtract a multiple of ten to or from a 2-digit number: e.g. 45 + 30, 20 + 64 or 65 – 20. Practise counting on and back by tens. You can also turn the addition problems around to find the easier addition. Level 4 Add / subtract a 2-digit number to or from a 2-digit number: e.g. 43 + 51 or78 – 34. Partitioning numbers is a helpful strategy at this level. Level 5 Find missing addend, subtrahend or operation e.g. 42 + ×= 50, 50 – × = 34, or 50 ×15 = 35. Use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction to find the easiest problem for you to solve! Each level has 3 phases. The first phase develops understanding of the processes – take the time you need to explore the hundred grid and notice helpful number patterns. The time restrictions in the second phase encourage you to make those facts automatic while the missing numbers on the grid in the third phase develop your understanding of place value.
