Encourage children to think a little deeper when creating number bonds up to 10 with this Year 1 Number Bonds up to 10 Discussion Problem. Can children find combinations of number pieces to balance the scales and create number bonds? To make learning a little more practical, how about recreating this activity with real-life scales and number pieces?

Our discussion problems are designed for children to work together to find their answers. There's often more than one possible answer, and we encourage language rich discussions to find and explain solutions. If children require a little further support, we've included some example answers to aid conversations.
