• VC2M2A02

  recall and demonstrate proficiency with addition facts to 20; extend and apply facts to develop related subtraction facts

  Elaborations

  • using ten-frames or materials such as connecting cubes to develop and record addition and subtraction strategies including doubles, near doubles, counting on, combinations to 10 and bridging to 10, explaining patterns and connections noticed within the facts
  • partitioning and rearranging collections to practise and develop fluency with addition and subtraction facts to 20, leading to the recall of these facts; for example, partitioning using materials and part-part-whole diagrams to develop subtraction facts related to addition facts, such as 8 + 7 = 15 therefore 15 − 7 = 8 and 15 − 8 = 7
  • using partitioning to develop and record facts systematically (for example, ‘How many ways can 10 birds be spread among 2 trees?’, 10 = 10 + 0, 10 = 9 + 1, 10 = 8 + 2, 10 = 7 + 3, …), explaining how they know they have found all possible partitions

• VC2M2N04

  add and subtract one- and two-digit numbers, represent problems using number sentences and solve using part-part-whole reasoning and a variety of calculation strategies

  Elaborations

  • using the associative property of addition to assist with mental calculation by partitioning, rearranging and regrouping numbers using number knowledge, near doubles and bridging-to-10 strategies; for example, calculating 7 + 8 using 7 + (7 + 1) = (7 + 7) + 1, the associative property and near doubles; or calculating 7 + 8 using the associative property and bridging to 10: 7 + (3 + 5) = (7 + 3) + 5
  • using strategies such as doubles, near doubles, part-part-whole knowledge to 10, bridging tens and partitioning to mentally solve problems involving two-digit numbers; for example, calculating 56 + 37 by thinking 5 tens and 3 tens is 8 tens, 6 + 7 = 6 + 4 + 3 is one 10 and 3, and so the result is 9 tens and 3, or 93
  • representing addition and subtraction problems using a bar model and writing a number sentence, explaining how each number in the sentence is connected to the situation
  • using mental strategies and informal written jottings to help keep track of the numbers when solving addition and subtraction problems involving two-digit numbers and recognising that zero added to a number leaves the number unchanged; for example, in calculating 34 + 20 = 54, 3 tens add 2 tens is 5 tens, which is 50, and 4 ones add zero ones is 4 ones, which is 4, so the result is 50 + 4 = 54
  • using a physical or mental number line or hundreds chart to solve addition or subtraction problems by moving along or up and down in tens and ones; for example, solving the problem ‘I was given a $100 gift card for my birthday and spent $38 on a pair of shoes and $15 on a T-shirt. How much money do I have left on the card?’
  • using Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ stories and dances to understand the balance and connection between addition and subtraction, representing relationships as number sentences
