Year 1 - Maths
Composition of numbers 11 to 19
In this unit pupils will explain 11-19 as cardinal and ordinal numbers. They will double and halve numbers 6-9 and use addition and subtraction facts to add and subtract within 20.
You will learn to use your knowledge of 10 and a bit to solve problems.
The teens numbers can be partitioned into ten and a bit. Problems can be represented using part-part-whole models, tens frames and sum equations.
The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.
Mistake: Pupils continue to count all when finding the sum instead of counting on from 10 or using their developing fluency with partitioning teen numbers into 10 and a bit. Correction: Provide concrete and pictorial examples where 10 is provided as a group that is hard to separate and count. Continue to emphasise one ten as a group of 10 that does not need to be counted in ones.
