Calculations in Year 1
Addition
Subtraction
Children begin to use a range of equations, including missing
Children are taught to solve missing number problems such as:-
3 + 4 = 
7 -  = 4
number problems such as
3 +  = 7
7 - 3 = 
 = 3 + 4
7 =  + 4
 + 4 = 7
4 = 7 - 
 -  = 4
7 =  + 
4 =  - 
Children subtract using the number line and the bead strings
Children are encouraged to add using a number line and bead

All calculations where possible are grounded in practical and relevant
activities where the children can see purpose.

Bead strings or bead bars are used to illustrate subtraction including
bridging through ten by counting back 3 then counting back 2.

Multiplication
Division
Children are introduced to missing number problems as in addition
and subtraction involving the multiplication symbol.
Children will experience equal groups of objects and will count in 2s
and 10s and begin to count in 5s. They will work on practical
problem solving activities involving equal sets or groups.

Children should be introduced to missing number problems as in
addition and subtraction involving the division symbol.
Children will understand equal groups and share items out in play
and problem solving. They will count in 2s and 10s and later in 5s.

12 ÷ 2 = 6
The first number is the number they end at and the second number
is how many are in each jump.
Commutativity
Children should know that 3 x 5 has the same answer as 5 x 3.
This can also be shown on the number line.
