Number Bonds


Number Bonds? Truth to be told, I don't recall being taught this concept when I was younger. Only when I upgraded and expanded my Mathematics knowledge, I learnt and put this concept into use. Or maybe I was not interested in Math at that time and don't remember a thing...

Anyway, in Tuesday's class, Dr Yeap mentioned that one of the big ideas in Whole Numbers is Number Bonds. It is an important idea as it helps to develop number sense. I agree that using ten frames is an excellent way to teach children number bonds. I use two coloured counters and a ten frame with the K2 children in my class. I'm glad that the children are able to grasp the idea and understand the concept of it. :)
