Number Bonds - The Story of 10 - PowerPoint

In an engaging and educational presentation titled "The Story of 10," primary school students are introduced to the concept of number bonds for the number 10. The presentation begins by posing the question, "What are we learning?" to which it responds that the focus will be on exploring the various combinations of two numbers that add up to ten. This foundational mathematical concept is critical for young learners as it lays the groundwork for understanding addition and the relationships between numbers.

A number bond is explained as a pair of numbers that, when added together, equal another number. To illustrate, the presentation provides the example of 5 + 5 = 10. The students are then taken through a series of slides, each showcasing a different pair of numbers that sum up to 10, such as 0 + 10, 1 + 9, 2 + 8, and so on, all the way through to 10 + 0. To reinforce the learning, a worksheet is provided where students can complete number bonds using visual aids like spots on ladybirds. Additionally, a 'Quick Fire Round' challenges students to quickly identify the missing number in an addition sum before time runs out, further cementing their understanding of number bonds to 10.
