What does adding to a single digit mean in Year 1 maths?

Adding to a single digit involves combining two or more numbers where at least one number is between 0 and 9, typically resulting in totals within 20. In Year 1, children focus on number bonds within 10, learning combinations like 3 + 4 = 7 or 5 + 2 = 7. This foundational skill helps pupils understand how numbers fit together and prepares them for mental arithmetic.

Which year groups use these adding to a single digit worksheets?

These worksheets are specifically designed for Year 1 pupils in Key Stage 1, aligning with the National Curriculum expectations for this age group. At this stage, children are typically aged 5-6 and are developing their understanding of addition as combining two groups of objects or numbers. The resources match the statutory requirements for pupils to read, write, and interpret mathematical statements involving the addition symbol.

How do number bonds help with single-digit addition?

Number bonds are pairs of numbers that combine to make a target number, and they're fundamental to developing fluency in addition. For single-digit work, children typically focus on bonds to 10, such as 6 + 4, 7 + 3, or 8 + 2. Learning these relationships by heart allows pupils to calculate quickly without counting individual objects, building mental maths confidence and speed.
