What you’ll learn
- Facts to 20 by HeartRecall addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, using fact families.Facts to 20, like 7 + 8 = 15, are worth memorising. They travel in families: 7, 8, and 15 give four facts at once. Knowing one member of the family means you nearly know them all, which makes every calculation faster.
- Stretch to Bigger NumbersDerive related facts up to 100, like using 6 + 4 = 10 to know 60 + 40 = 100.A known fact stretches to bigger numbers by making everything ten times larger. Because 6 + 4 = 10, then 60 + 40 = 100, and because 15 - 8 = 7, then 150 - 80 = 70. The digits stay the same — you simply scale up.
Questions this course answers
What is 7 + 8?
7 + 8 = 15. Fill the ten: 7 + 3 + 5 = 15.
If 7 + 8 = 15, what is 15 - 8?
They are in the same fact family: take one part away and the other remains.
Which fact belongs to the SAME family as 6 + 9 = 15?
6, 9, and 15 make a family, so 15 - 6 = 9 is part of it.
If 6 + 4 = 10, then 60 + 40 = ?
Everything is ten times bigger: 60 + 40 = 100.
You know 15 - 8 = 7. What is 150 - 80?
Stretch the fact ten times: 150 - 80 = 70.
