What it is
A number bond shows how a number splits into two parts, like 5 is 2 and 3. Kindergartners learn the different ways to break apart numbers up to 10, and learn the pairs that make 10. These pairs are the base for adding and subtracting later on.
What comes next
Adding and taking away within 10.
How to teach it
- Use real things. Put 5 snacks on the table and split them onto two plates in as many ways as you can.
- Say it as a sentence, like "5 is 2 and 3." Then switch the parts, "5 is 3 and 2."
- Use a ten frame for 10. The empty boxes show how many more make 10.
- Practice the pairs that make 10 a little every day. Quick games with fingers work well.
Common mistakes
- Writing the whole in a part circle, or adding the whole and a part together.
- Counting all the dots instead of just the missing part.
- Forgetting that 0 and 10, or 0 and 5, are pairs too.
