Place value We will recognise known multiples. Understand the connection between 10x and place value. Use = to show equality. 

Then we will be focusing on addition and subtraction We will build on mental strategies to solve problems, use our own number lines to add and subtract, find the difference by counting on and use bar models to show the relationship between addition and subtraction.
