This five-week block supports pupils to build fluency with number bonds and related facts, then apply mental and written strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems up to 100.

They then move into adding and subtracting with tens and ones, including ten more and ten less, bonds to 100, and strategies such as adding by making ten. Later in the block, pupils develop confidence with two-digit calculations including crossing ten, a key focus for many Year 2 classes.

Each lesson includes detailed planning, interactive slides, practical activities and Year 2 addition and subtraction worksheets.
