In this Year 2 Add and Subtract 1s Teaching PPT, children will explore how to add and subtract ones from a given number, recognising how the ones digit changes each time. They will begin to notice patterns when counting forwards and backwards in ones and link these to their understanding of number bonds and number facts from earlier learning.

The content is organised into Let’s Learn sections, where clear methods and mathematical language are modelled step by step, and Let’s Practise sections, where pupils can consolidate their understanding through short, focused activities.

To strengthen reasoning skills, the PPT includes problem-solving questions that encourage children to explain their thinking and apply strategies in different contexts.

The final slide signposts further resources to support this small step – don’t forget to take a look!
