Addition and subtraction within 10 - Using bonds - Worksheet

The worksheet provided is aimed at reinforcing children's understanding of number bonds within 10, a foundational maths skill that is essential for their arithmetic development. It is designed to help children represent and use number bonds, as well as related subtraction facts within 20. The resources required for this lesson include differentiated sheets for varying levels of ability and teaching slides to guide instruction. The key vocabulary for the lesson includes 'number bonds' and 'number sentence', which are crucial terms for the children to become familiar with as they solve missing number problems and apply their knowledge.

During the lesson, children will tackle a range of activities such as shading all the bonds to a specific number, writing number sentences, and solving word problems to find missing parts of number bonds. They will be encouraged to use counting on strategies, starting from a given part to count on to the whole. The worksheet also includes reasoning and problem-solving questions where children have to deduce what else could be bought with a certain amount of money, based on their understanding of number bonds. This exercise not only tests their numerical fluency but also their logical reasoning skills and ability to articulate their thought process. The worksheet is structured to cater to different levels of understanding, from 'Working Towards' to 'Greater Depth', ensuring that all children are challenged according to their ability.
