, NUMBERS
ADDITION:
● A way of putting together 2 or more things to find out how many there are together.
● Each addition fact is made up of 2 or more addends and a sum
● Some beginners practise with coins or bottle caps
● Each addition fact consists of an (ADDEND) + (ADDEND) = (SUM)
BASIC FACTS
COUNTING TOGETHER When you put together 2 or more sets to form a new set and
find out how many there are together in the new set, you can
count them together.
THINKING TOGETHER Is a quicker way of adding than counting together.
Example:
4 + 5 = ???
(4+4= 8 ) so (4+5 will be 1 more)
therefore 4 + 5 = 9
REGROUPING Changing the sets to the nearest 10 is called regrouping
EXAMPLE: 9 + 6 +15 OR (9 +1 =10) and (6 -1 = 5)
NUMBERS AND CALCULATIONS 1
,SUBTRACTION
● A way of taking away a number of things from a larger number of things
● A number is taken away to find out how many things are left
● Each subtraction fact consists of a MINUEND, a SUBTRAHEND and a REMAINDER or
DIFFERENCE.
BASIC FACTS
DICE AND DRILLING ACTIVITIES
➔ use one/two more than dice
➔ 1 : labelled with +1, +2
➔ 2 : labelled 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9
➔ After each roll of the dice, children should say the complete fact: four and two is six
DISCUSS THE USE OF DICE IN THE DRILLING ACTIVITIES IN THE MATHEMATICS
CLASSROOM. EXPLAIN THE CONCEPTS THAT CAN BE MASTERED AS WELL AS DRAW
(SHOW) THE DICE THAT YOU WILL USE(5)
● Drill is good for strengthening memory and retrieval capabilities.
● Dice can be used to to complete the facts of numbers for example if you get’ 3 and 6 its 9’
● They can use it to add doubles doubling the number that they get.
● They can use a dice with numerals or the one with just number symbols.
