Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I do the passport activities with my child?
Anywhere! In the car, out and about, at the supermarket or at home. Most
activities can be done through talking with your child.
How often?
Daily for best results.
How long should we do it?
Around 10 minutes will do. Don’t overdo it, as your child may ‘switch off’.
My child is not being moved on at school. Why not?
Children will be tested on each target at regular intervals – approximately
every fortnight.
Why don’t you test straight after a practice?
We need to know that the children will remember each target forever!
My child says he was tested and passed, but is still working on this
target, why?
We will test until they have passed the target 3 times. These tests will be
at least a fortnight apart from one another. Then the target will be ‘signed
off’ at school.
How many targets should I work on at once?
This is your choice. You can work on one target or several from the same
passport.
Can I help in school?
Yes! We are always on the lookout for help even if you can’t give up much
time. Please contact your class teacher if you’re interested.
What would I be expected to do in school?
You would be asked to work with one or two children for 15 minutes on
their numeracy passport activities e.g. once a week after lunch.
Why isn’t my child writing much down during the activities?
Children need to learn these targets mentally. Writing them down may slow
their progress. They will remember them better if this has been done
through talk and playing games.
What does the test look like?
Like this!

The teacher would put some numbers in the middle column (see above). For
example, this one could be used to test the 2x table. Your child would then
start at the top and fill in as many answers in the empty column on one side
(left hander to the left side and right handers to the right side – so they
can see the middle numbers!)
Your child will be timed. If they complete the sheet correctly in 30
seconds or less they will receive the first signing of their passport. They
will then get tested approximately 2 weeks later. Once the target has
been signed 3 times, it will be ‘signed off’.
How does my child move to the next passport?
Once all their targets have been signed off, they will do a mixed test of all
their passport targets.
Why? This will ensure that they have REALLY learnt them by heart!

Number bonds to 10
I know by heart number bonds to 10
.
Number bonds are different ways of making 10.
10 + 0 = 10
9 + 1 = 10
8 + 2 = 10
7 + 3 = 10
6 + 4 = 10
5 + 5 = 10
4 + 6 = 10
3 + 7 = 10
2 + 8 = 10
1 + 9 = 10
0 + 10 = 10
1 + 9 = 10
2 + 8 = 10
3 + 7 = 10
4 + 6 = 10
5 + 5 = 10
6 + 4 = 10
7 + 3 = 10
8 + 2 = 10
9 + 1 = 10
Ideas to try at home:
Get 10 objects and find different ways of splitting
them into 2 groups like the pictures below:.
4 + 6 = 10 etc.
Can you find two sets that make 10?
7+ 3 = 10
Now swap them around?
3 + 7 = 10
etc.
. Get number cards 0 to 10 spread them on the
table. Can you find me 2 numbers that make 10
altogether?
7 + 3 = 10 etc
Show me 4 fingers. How many more do you need to make
10?
Using number cards 1 – 10 pick a number. How many
more to make 10?
Show me 10 fingers. If you take 3 away how many
will you have left? Etc.
.
Doubles to 10.
I can recall doubles of all numbers
to at least 10.
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 3 = 6
4 + 4 = 8
5 + 5 = 10
6 + 6 = 12
7 + 7 = 14
8 + 8 = 16
9 + 9 = 18
10 + 10 = 20
For example adding two numbers that are the same
e.g. 1+1 = 2 2+2=4 up to 10+10.
Saying double one is two, double two is four...etc
Make two lots of one, two lots of 2, two lots of 3
Double 1 is 2
Double 2 is 4
Double 3 is 6
Double 4 is 8 etc.
Ideas to try at home:
Roll a die say what double the
number rolled is:
E.g. Double 6 is 12 etc
Using number cards face down 0-10
Pick a number. Say what it is doubled.

E.g. Double 4 is 8 etc.

Put coins 1p 2p 5p
And double it.
10p in a bag. Pick a coin
Double 2p is 4p etc
Questions:
I double a number, my answer is
10. What number did I start with?
(This is halving which is the reverse of doubling).
*Make a set of even number objects.
(2, 4, 6, 8, or 10) Share them into 2 groups to find half
of that number.
(Repeat with other numbers)
