Addition
These steps represent a progression through a child’s understanding. At all times concrete apparatus MUST be used. Objects, Numicom, bundles of straws, Diennes, bead
strings and 1 /10/ 100 counters should be familiar to the children. It is vital that children learn to estimate and round from the earliest stage.

to be written but must be demonstrated
with practical apparatus - Diennes
Use a variety of
pictures and objects
eg Numicon, multilink, compare bears.
3+2=5
Count on from
largest number. Use
fingers, Numicon,
numberlines.
Being able to partition
numbers then use for
addition.
Eg 27 = 20 + 7
47 + 76
47 = 40 + 7
76 = 70 +6
15 + 7 = 22
Use for
15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
34 + 27 =
34 + 20 + 7
47 +76 = 110 + 13 =
123
Move onto larger
numbers and use +
and = signs.
Introduce bead strings
as a numberline
Children must know
the inverse
operation and have
practical experience
of it.
