This learning activity enables children to develop their understanding of number bonds and simple addition involving two single-digit numbers. Where possible, encourage children to subitise the amounts and provide practical objects to aid understanding if required. Children find and record the missing number in order to create number bonds to 5.
It covers the following objectives for children in reception:
(M-22) Subitise.
(M-27) Explore the composition of numbers to 10.
(M-28) Automatically recall number bonds for numbers 0-5 and some to 10.
