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.

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.
Story
Ten Red Apples – by Pat Hutchins
How many apples have been eaten? How many are left on the tree?
Use number bonds to answer.
Say the number 1 more/ less
Counting
Shuffle a set of 1-10 cards. Show one. Children say the next number, then carry on counting until you say stop. Repeat with other cards.
On a different day, repeat, but this time, children count back to zero.
Use number shapes – such as Numicon - for the same activity, asking Which shape is 1 more/ 1 less than this one?
Analyse and visualise number images, e.g. by showing children the dice pattern for 5 and asking them What numbers can you see hidden inside this number?
Chants/Rhymes/Songs
Sing a song or say a rhyme which starts with one object/character and adds one more each time, e.g. One elephant went out to play, or One man went to mow, such as this animated version of One Man Went to Mow on YouTube.com.
