A Little Number Bond Work...

We've been working with number bonds the past couple of weeks. Here's how we practiced them today. (I saw this idea on pinterest, along with this printable. ) The children started with 5 unifix cubes in their bag and we practiced a few number bonds together.

Then they progressively added one cube to the bag to write number bonds for 6 and 7. To complete the activity, I gave them the choice of using 8, 9, or 10 blocks.
The children wrote 3 number bonds for each number.
This was a great hands on way to practice number bonds! I also love the idea of using divided plates to work with the part, part, whole concept. We'll work on that next week!
