Addition and subtraction within 10 - Adding number bonds - Presentation

In Lesson 14, students delve into the world of number bonds within the realm of addition and subtraction. Number bonds are essential combinations of numbers that add up to make a certain number. The lesson invites students to recall previous comparisons of number bonds and challenges them to identify which combinations correctly add up to a given total. For instance, students are asked to consider a set of number bonds and determine which pair does not sum up to 7, enhancing their understanding of how different numbers can work together to reach the same total.

The lesson continues with engaging activities, such as identifying correct number bonds to 6 using domino representations. This visual aid helps students to solidify their understanding of number bonds in a fun and interactive way. Furthermore, the lesson includes reasoning exercises where students must evaluate statements about the number of bonds a number has, determining whether they are true or false. For example, they explore whether the number 4 has exactly four number bonds. Independent work at the end of the lesson allows students to apply their knowledge and find various number bonds on their own, reinforcing the concept of addition and the relationships between numbers.
