The Year 1 Number Bonds to 10 PowerPoint guides both teachers and children through the lesson, including use of the varied fluency, reasoning and problem solving, practical activities and continuous provision resources. Key learning information about this step:
Key Vocabulary
bond to 10: A bond to 10 is two parts that make 10 altogether.
ten frame: A ten frame holds ten counters. It shows how many more we need to make 10.
how many more: How many more tells us the part we still need.
altogether: Altogether means how many there are when the parts are put together.
Adult-Led Practical Activities
• Activity 1: with a partner, build a tower of 10 and say the bond
• Activity 2: show a number on your fingers and make 10 with a partner
You will need:
• interlocking cubes in two colours
• number cards 0 to 10 and ten frames
• a cloth bag, counters and 1 to 6 dice
Why not try…
• turn over two cards and keep the pair if they make 10
• roll, fill a ten frame and find how many more make 10
• take objects from a bag of 10 and find how many are left
Varied Fluency
• Q1: use a ten frame to complete a number bond to 10.
• Q2: complete a bar model and the matching number sentence.
Reasoning and Problem Solving
• Q1: Reasoning - using a bond to 10 to work out how many are hidden.
• Q2: Problem Solving - finding different ways to share 10 counters between two pots.
