Learning Intention:

To use counters to find number bonds to ten

Top Tips:

• Repeat each activity in a variety of ways.

• Use different objects as counters e.g. coins, marbles and sweets or grapes – a tasty incentive!

• Talk about what you’re doing as you learn together and ask lots of questions e.g. Which pile is greater or has less? How can I turn 3 add 7 into 2 add 8?

Ideas for afterwards:

• Take photos of each number bond to scroll through later as a memory aid. Record as pictures and number sums.

• Keep recalling the learning and promote memory retention – e.g. when going on a walk or while in the bath!

• Make a number line in your back garden and squirt the number bonds with a water pistol e.g. squirt the number that goes with 7 to make 10.
