Maths fluency

Thursday 29 January 2026

This week Year 1 have been learning to make 5.

4 is a part, 1 is a part, 5 is the whole.

3 is a part, 2 is a part, 5 is the whole.

2 is a part, 3 is a part, 5 is the whole.

We know that when we add, we can switch the numbers around. They are commutative!

In our Maths learning we have been writing add equations by creating fact families.

3 + 2 = 5

2 + 3 = 5

5 = 3 + 2

5 = 2 + 3

Help at home by writing simple add equations and asking your child to write it commutatively.
