Bonds to 10
Counting
Split the class into two groups. Display a 1-100 grid. The first group say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the 2nd group say 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the 1st group say 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on alternating groups of 5 to count to 100.
Number bonds
Place children in pairs. Ask each pair to show you 10 fingers altogether, so one child might show 6 and the other might show 4. Now ask them to do this in a different way. Repeat.

Story
Ten Red Apples by Pat Hutchins
How many apples have been eaten? How many are left on the tree? Prompt children to try to remember to use number bonds to answer.
Counting on; 1 more/ less
Counting
Count on together as children pass the teddy around the circle, but once the count has passed 10, shout ‘Change!’ Children pass the teddy back around, all counting backwards. ‘Change!’ again at 5, and then at 20.
Number bonds
Show 7 fingers as 4 on one hand and 3 on the other. Say ‘four add three equals seven’ and record as 4 + 3 = 7. Then fold down 3 fingers. Say ‘7 subtract 3 is 4’. Stand up the 3. Say ‘four add three equals seven’. Fold down 4. Say ‘7 subtract 4 is 3’, etc. This is to show that subtraction and addition are inverse operations.
Repeat with other pairs, showing a number on each hand. Children copy the process with their fingers.
