Tuesday 23rd September

The children have been introduced to the concept of number bonds. The children should be aiming for instant recall of these number facts as they are some of the basic number skills that children will be drawing on.


We have started with number bonds to 10. We have been using our fingers to help us.  We started off with a painting activity and used 2 colours. We looked at the different combinations that we could make.

 

In maths lessons use our fingers to help us work out the number facts. If we put 1 finger down, there are 9 still standing up, so we can say 1+9=10

Number bonds to 10

10+0=10
9+1=10
8+2=10
7+3=10
6+4=10
5+5=10
4+6=10
3+7=10
2+8=10
1+9=10
0+10=10

Challenge
It would be great if you could work on number bonds at home. Children who can recall number bonds to 10 without having to count their fingers can collect a house point.

The next step is to work on number bonds to 20 and 100.
