To help the students of Year 1 understand the concept of number bonds to 10 in Mathematics.
Let's begin the class with an exciting game! I am going to call out a number, and you have to write down its pair that makes 10. For example, if I say "2," you have to write down "8". Are you ready? Here we go!
Well done! You all did an excellent job! Do you wonder what we were doing just now? We were trying to find out the pair of numbers that add up to 10. In Mathematics, we call it 'number bonds to 10.'
We will be learning how to create this combination and how useful it is in solving math problems.
Now, I am going to hand out some worksheets to you, and you have to find the missing number that makes a sum of 10. Let's work in pairs, and try to solve these worksheets together.
Good work, everyone! We did an excellent job of creating number bonds to 10. Keep practicing at home, and we will explore more exciting topics in our next class!
