2NF–1 Assessment guidance

Assessment guidance: For pupils to have met criterion 2NF–1, they need to be able to add and subtract within 10 without counting forwards or backwards in ones on their fingers, on a number line or in their heads. Pupils need to be able to automatically recall the facts. Teachers should assess pupils in small groups – simply providing the correct answers to calculations in a written test does not demonstrate that a pupil has met the criterion.
