Our Number Bond Party

Today, it was World Maths Day. We decided to have a number bond party to celebrate! Number bonds are pairs of numbers that make a particular total. We had fun playing lots of games that make 10! We had to find a partner with a numbered party hat that would match with our own to make 10. We rolled dice and then had to think what number would go with it to make 10. We tossed ten double sided counters into the air and told our talking partners the number sentence that they made when they landed. To finish off, we enjoyed having raisins for snack, 10 of them, but we had to say a number sentence first!
