Number Facts is built to help pupils in Years 1–3 master their basic addition and subtraction skills. It includes audio read-alouds and pictures to support pupils as they learn their first Number Facts. To answer the questions, pupils simply need to select the correct answer since we know interfacing with a keyboard can be difficult at these young ages.
