Parents, need some help with the math homework tonight? We've got you covered!
A number bond breaks up a whole number into parts. For example, the whole number 9 can be broken up into two parts of 8 and 1 (or 7 and 2, 6 and 3, 5 and 4, and even 9 and 0).
Number bonds are an important foundation for learning the concepts of addition and subtraction. When children understand the concept of number bonds, it will be easier when they do addition and subtraction with regrouping at a later stage. Number bonding also helps with mental math!
Students will be investigating all possible sets of two numbers (parts) that make a given number (whole) up to 10. Children are first taught to identify the parts and whole of a set. They are then led to separate a set of objects into two parts. Hence, children will realize that they can make different number bonds for a given number. This part-whole concept forms the basis for addition and sub strategies.
