How do you add 27 + 5 without counting every step? This simple lesson shows children how to jump to a friendly number first. Marie from This Child Can uses an empty number line to show how 27 + 5 can be made easier by jumping +3 to reach 30, then adding the 2 left over to reach 32. This short Key Stage 1 maths lesson helps children understand friendly numbers, adding to the next ten, number line addition and mental addition strategies. It is ideal for Year 2 maths, classroom learning, home learning and children who need a clear, confidence-building explanation.
