Four addition and subtraction activities for Year 2 maths. Pupils write fact families from the numbers 15, 7 and 8, add the dots on three dice, work through sums like 34 + 5 and 87 - 4, then solve missing number questions such as 12 + __ = 20. An answer key covers every section. Aligned to the England National Curriculum.
