Partition to create number bonds

Counting
Use Post-its™ to cover 10 random numbers on the 1-100 grid (not multiples of 10).

Count to 100 as a class, with children marking the multiples of five by waving one hand (numbers ending ‘5’) or two hands (numbers ending ‘0’).

Point to each number on the grid as you say it.

Can children say the missing numbers? Take off the Post-its as you go.

Chants/Rhymes/Songs
Number Bonds to 10 (see poster)

0 and 10 are big strong men

1 and 9 are feeling fine

2 and 8 are never late

3 and 7 come from Devon

4 and 6 like to play tricks

5 and 5 come alive

Children can invent their own version for the class to say together.
