Master Addition Without Regrouping in 3 Easy Steps
3 simple methods to help your Year 2 child add 2-digit numbers with confidence.
This free 17-page guide gives you three simple, step-by-step methods you can use at home, moving from hands-on sticks and stones, to drawing tens and ones, to the partitioning method your child will use on paper. No confusion, no pressure, just confident adding.
❀ — SOUND FAMILIAR?
Where 2-digit addition usually goes wrong.
Children often learn a method without understanding why it works, so every new topic feels like starting from scratch.
Without a concrete starting point, 2-digit addition can feel abstract and overwhelming.
Parents often want to help but are unsure which method the school is teaching, so home practice adds confusion instead of confidence.
✧ — INSIDE THE GUIDE
What your child will learn.

Sticks and Stones
Your child builds 2-digit numbers using sticks, straws or pebbles from around the home, so tens and ones become something they can hold.

Drawing Tens and Ones
A simple bridge from hands-on objects to written maths: a line for a ten, a dot for a one. Same numbers, new form, deeper understanding.

The Partitioning Method
Finally, the written method schools use, introduced only once the idea is secure. Plus practice questions and a full answer key.

Hi, I'm Heena!
Qualified primary teacher, 8+ years helping children close gaps and enjoy maths.
I'm a qualified primary teacher with over 8 years of experience helping students close gaps, build confidence and enjoy their subject. I've taught in primary schools in the UK and internationally.
Maths can be overwhelming for many students if they don't have their foundations intact. Without secure foundations, further maths knowledge is difficult to embed. I've seen students unable to follow methods simply because they don't have solid number sense.
I help students overcome these challenges by following the Roots to Reach method. The process starts with ensuring students are in a settled and safe state to learn, before any challenge is introduced. Then we build connections through concrete, visual and abstract learning, which creates real understanding, and we connect things to real life or their own interests to make learning meaningful.
I offer small group classes, maximum 4 children, run weekly on Lessonspace and personally planned and led by me. Classes are based on children's interests and linked to the real world, so they can apply their maths knowledge with interest and understanding.
I've taught 500+ students over the years, and I'm proud to receive continuous, amazing feedback from both parents and students.
Alongside academic support, I also run monthly wellbeing sessions, because as a holistic, integrated creative arts facilitator, I value my students' wellbeing in itself, not just their learning.
Students get personalised feedback throughout class, and parents are given written and verbal feedback throughout the year. I'm here to support your child every step of the way. If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message through my Contact Page. I'd love to hear from you.
