Check understanding
- Use a known doubles fact to derive a near-doubles answer (e.g. 6 + 7 = 6 + 6 + 1 = 13)
- Notice that subtracting 10 from any two-digit number always reduces the tens digit by 1
- Describe a rule for a pattern and use it to extend or predict (e.g. 'each time we add 5, the ones digit alternates between 0 and 5')
“When your child is practising times tables or number patterns, do they spot a shortcut — like "if 6 × 7 = 42, then 6 × 8 must be 48" — and use known facts to work out ones they haven't memorised yet?”
