Help your Year 2 pupils develop confidence and flexibility with addition using this Maths Resource Pack, focusing on solving problems with both mental and written methods.

“Matches our White Rose planning almost week for week.”
I stopped adapting things from three different sites and now start here. The odd week does not line up exactly, but the small step it covers is always somewhere in the same block.

“The editable file is why we renewed.”
Being able to change two questions for the child who joined us in January, without rebuilding the whole sheet, is worth the subscription on its own.
