There are only a few number facts we expect children to learn, and so although it is correct to refer to them as facts, it is actually more helpful to call the ones we wish ones to learn 'Learn Its'.

A 'Learn It' is a number fact that is learnt so well that it can be recalled instantly. They should know all 'Learn Its' as well as they know 1+1, or as well as they know their name! With genuine recall of facts there is no thinking time.

'Learn Its' save us from counting again and again. They are number facts that we need repeatedly in core numeracy, outer numeracy and real life maths.

Children simply cannot be properly numerate without strong recall of 'Learn Its'.

There are 72 'Learn Its' in total.
(36 addition 'Learn Its' and 36 multiplication 'Learn Its')
