Over the last week we have been exploring how numbers are made up; what parts make up a whole number. The children have shown this in lots different ways to gain a good understanding as well as a way to build fluency.

Playing Numicon number bond games


Building number bond towers


Playing active games- Number bond skittles


Number bond hoops (how many bean bags are in the hoop, how many are outside the hoop?)



We have also had a go at recording different number bonds in our workbooks as a 'whole part model.'
