Text omitted from skills
In some instances, only part of a skill will be covered in an Abacus Evolve week. For example, in Abacus Evolve Year 1 Week 8, learners subtract one 1-digit number from
another. The skill that most closely matches this is Using number skills > Calculate using mental and written methods > add and subtract numbers involving up to 10 objects. But
since the addition part isn’t covered in this week, the skill is presented as follows:
 [add and] subtract numbers involving up to 10 objects
‘Begin to’ objectives
Abacus Evolve has lots of small objectives, and some are stepping stones on the way towards more ‘milestone’ objectives. In some weeks, learners are likely to be working
towards a skill, rather than fully ‘mastering’ it. We have indicated these instances by prefacing the skill with [Begin to]. For example, in Abacus Evolve Year 3 Week 21, learners
are beginning to round 3-digit numbers to the nearest 100 and 10. The equivalent skill from Year 4 is presented as follows:
 [Begin to] estimate by rounding to the nearest 10 or 100
Numerical reasoning skills
In Abacus Evolve, numerical reasoning is embedded throughout. (For example: whole-class investigations; extension suggestions on workbook pages; ‘Owls’ and ‘Explores’ on
textbook pages; group activities; interactive problem solving and speaking and listening activities.) We don’t list ‘using and applying’-type objectives in the teaching plans,
because we would run out of space! For the same reason, we haven’t included the Developing numerical reasoning skills in these charts.
Abacus Evolve weeks with no matching skills
There are some weeks of Abacus Evolve for which there are no relevant skills. However, this doesn’t mean that those weeks don’t need to be taught. Not every element of the
National Curriculum mathematics programme of study is included in the LNF, but you will still need to cover the curriculum in full.
