Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Addition pairs to 10 and 20

Max Maths for Year 2 presents a fun and engaging activity for young learners to practice their addition skills. In the "Try It" section, children are encouraged to look at a set of digit cards displaying the numbers 14, 31, 6, 7, 9, 17, 19, 13, and 11. With these numbers, the task is to create pairs that add up to 20. This exercise not only helps students reinforce their understanding of addition but also allows them to explore the concept of making pairs that total a specific number.

The activity is structured with several blank equations, each with two spaces for the digit cards and a sum of 20. Students are asked to fill in the blanks with appropriate numbers from the set of digit cards to complete the equations correctly. This hands-on approach to learning addition pairs to 20 is designed to be interactive and enjoyable, helping children to develop their mental arithmetic and number recognition skills. After completing the activity, students are directed to continue their learning by turning to page 30 in their workbook, where they can find further exercises to practice and consolidate their understanding of addition.
