Addition and subtraction resources for Australian Curriculum V9

Build addition and subtraction understanding before speed. SkillrHub’s current public resources focus on Year 1, where students connect quantities, part-whole models, number bonds and additive situations before moving into independent practice.

Teach the structure

Use concrete and visual models to show how a whole can be composed and decomposed.

Practise strategies

Work with counting on, counting back, number bonds and known facts within 20.

Apply to problems

Use joining, separating and comparison situations so students choose the operation from meaning.
