This lesson aligns with the National Curriculum for Mathematics, focusing on number and place value, specifically on number bonds to 20.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (mins) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Number Bonds | 5 | Briefly explain what number bonds are and why they are useful. Present examples on the whiteboard. |
| 2 | Group Activity on Number Bonds | 10 | Distribute printable number bond cards to students. In pairs, they will fill in the missing numbers to complete number bonds to 20. Encourage discussion within pairs. |
| 3 | Independent Practice | 5 | Hand out worksheets for students to practice independently using number bonds. |
| 4 | Random Checking of Activities | 5 | Collect or randomly check the completed number bond cards and worksheets. Provide immediate feedback but do not request presentations. |
| 5 | Conclusion and Review | 5 | Review key concepts from the lesson, ask a few questions to check understanding, and highlight the importance of number bonds in addition and subtraction. |
Assign students to create their own number bonds to 20. They should illustrate and label their number bonds, which will be reviewed in the next class. Students should submit their homework without presenting in front of the class.
"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to explore something really exciting in mathematics. We will be learning about number bonds to 20. So, what exactly are number bonds? Number bonds are simply pairs of numbers that add up to a certain total—in this case, 20!
For example, if I have the number 10, what number do I need to add to make 20? That’s right, it’s 10! So, 10 and 10 are one number bond. Let’s look at this on the whiteboard.
Now, can anyone tell me another number bond to 20? Yes, that's correct! 15 and 5 is another number bond.
Great! As we go through our lesson, we will discover more number bonds that will help us in adding and subtracting. Let's get started!"
"Now, I will hand out some printable number bond cards for you to work on. In pairs, you’ll look at these cards and fill in the missing numbers to complete the number bonds to 20.
As you work together, discuss with your partner how you arrived at your answers. Remember, it’s okay to help each other out! You have 10 minutes to complete this task.
Let’s get started!"
"Fantastic work, everyone! Now that you’ve worked in pairs, it's time to practice on your own. I will hand out worksheets for you to complete by yourself. These worksheets will give you more practice with number bonds to 20.
Take your time and do your best. You have 5 minutes for this. Off you go!"
"Alright, pencils down! Now I’d like to check your work. Please pass your number bond cards and worksheets to me, or I will come around to see them.
I’ll be giving you feedback on what you’ve done well and where you can improve. You don’t need to present your work to the class, just focus on how you can grow from this exercise."
"Great job today, everyone! Let’s quickly review what we learned. Can anyone tell me what a number bond is? Yes, exactly! A number bond shows pairs of numbers that add up to 20.
Why do you think it’s important to understand number bonds? Yes, they help us add and subtract easily!
Please remember to complete your homework: create your own number bonds to 20. Illustrate and label them, and I will look at them in our next class.
Thank you for your hard work today!"
