1. The Family Maths Toolkit website
We all use maths every day, often without realising it. We believe that every child can develop the numeracy skills they will need, both at school and throughout their lives. Helping your child feel confident about maths now gives them a head start.

10. Number Bonds (Number facts)
A pair of numbers that add up to make another number, e.g = 5, = 5
By the end of Year One, children need to know all of these number bonds off by heart:
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10
2 =
5 =
3 + 2
8 = 7 + 1
6 + 2
5 + 3
4 + 4
3 = 2+ 1
6 = 5 + 1
4 + 2
3 + 3
9 = 8 + 1
7 + 2
6 + 3
5 + 4
4 =
2 + 2
7 = 6 + 1
5 + 2
4 + 3
10 = 9 + 1
8 + 2
7 + 3
6 + 4
5 + 5
Children should realise that if they know ‘4 + 2 = 6’ then they also know ‘2 + 4 = 6’ because addition calculations can be done in any order

13. Addition and Subtraction facts
If I know that = 5, then I know that
5 – 3 = 2 and 5 – 2 = 3.
If I know that = 10, then I know that
10 – 8 = 2 and 10 – 2 = 8.

It helps children to see that subtraction is a mirror image of addition. They begin to see the patterns in numbers and to learn mathematical principles rather than having to memorise each individual sum.

14. Doubles and Halves Doubles for all numbers up to 10
Halves of all even numbers up to 20
Half of 2 = 1
Half of 4 = 2
Half of 6 = 3
Half of 8 = 4
Half of 10 = 5
Half of 12 = 6
Half of 14 = 7
Half of 16 = 8
Half of 18 = 9
Half of 20 = 10

15. Get confident at Numeracy!
Be positive
Don’t say things like ‘I can’t do maths/numeracy’.
Praise effort
This shows that by working hard they can always improve.
Talk maths!
Talk about and do everyday maths together. Little and often is best.
However you feel about maths, you can still make a huge difference to your child’s confidence and learning
