Know 1 more than numbers

The ArithmeKit 1.9 from CanDoMaths by Buzzard Publishing is a comprehensive resource aimed at helping students understand and practice the concept of finding 'one more' than a given number. The activities within the kit encourage students to notice patterns when adding one to various numbers. For instance, when one is added to a sequence of numbers ending in 6, such as 6, 16, 26, and so on, the resulting numbers incrementally increase by one, highlighting the consistency in the ones digit changing. This reinforces the understanding of basic addition facts and the significance of place value. Students are also tasked with calculating the sum of one added to other numbers, both single and double digits, to further strengthen their arithmetic skills.

Moreover, the ArithmeKit includes exercises that challenge students to think critically by filling in missing digits to create true mathematical statements. These activities not only test their knowledge of addition but also encourage them to explore multiple solutions using the digits 0-9. Additionally, the kit addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that only the ones digit changes when one is added to a number. Through practical exercises, students can discover that adding one to an odd number results in an even number, thus deepening their comprehension of number properties. The kit provides a variety of problems and opportunities for students to create their own, promoting engagement and a deeper grasp of the concept of 'one more' in a fun and interactive way.
