KS2 Maths Intervention Games and Activities: ADDITION & SUBTRACTION

14 targeted activities which are designed to 'close the gap' in this key area of understanding. The activities are suitable for children in KS2 who may have gaps in their knowledge and understanding and would benefit from some intensive (but fun!) intervention work.

The activities are designed to be carried out in a 1:1 situation, although very small groups would also be appropriate. They use minimal resources and take approximately 10 - 20 minutes to complete.

Aims are as follows:
Aim: for the child to understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction and vice versa.
Aim: for the child to use numbers to make a target number.
Aim: for the child to recognise number bonds to 100
Aim: for the child to make a target number using addition

Aim: for the child to subtract small amounts from a number until they reach zero
Aim: for the child to use the answers to subtraction calculations to complete a game.
