Use and begin to read the vocabulary of comparing and ordering numbers
Compare two given two-digit numbers, say which is more or less, and give
a number which lies between them.
Say the number that is 1 or 10 more or less than any given number.

more efficiently. For example: put the larger number first and count on; partition
into tens and units, then recombine (e.g. 34 + 53 = 30 + 50 + 4 + 3).
Add mentally a 'near multiple of 10' to or from a two-digit number by adding
10, 20, 30 and adjusting.
Use known number facts and place value to add mentally.

Give each pair of children a set of

cards. Ask them to select a card
from each pile and make an + and

answer.
Give each pair of children a set of
0 – 9 cards. Ask them to shuffle
them and place them upside down.
They take it in turns to select three
cards and make one addition and
one subtraction, e.g. 3, 4 and 9
could give 34 – 9 and 43 + 9. Their
partner must find the answers.
As above, but give the pupils two

Can they find all the possible + and

Ask the pupils to work in pairs and
write down two items that would be
weighed in kg and two that would
be weighed in grams. Choose
answers at random.
Give small groups a 1kg weight and
some Plasticine. Show them how to
estimate making a 1kg ball of
Plasticine by holding the weight in
one hand and the Plasticine in the
other and swapping them over.
On the board write 200g, 50g,
250g, 75g.
Give the pupils Plasticine and ask
them to make balls weighing
approximately each amount. Use
scales to find out how good their
estimates were.
As above but ask the pupils to make
1/2kg and 1kg weights only to begin
with.
Working in pairs, ask the pupils to
challenge each other to make
different weights out of Plasticine.
Use scales to see how good each
estimate is.
Discuss how close the pupils’
estimates were
