About this resource
A complete lesson on number bonds that gives young learners a deep understanding of how numbers up to 10 are put together and pulled apart.
Children start by shaking and spilling counters, then draw number bonds, find missing parts, make ten on ten-frames, and write matching addition sentences. A partner game and an exit ticket round out the lesson.
The Teacher Guide gives you the language to use, common mistakes to watch for, and clear next steps for every learner.
