Number Bonds to 5
Early Primary (Ages 5-7)
Mathematics
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Number Bonds | 10 min | Begin with a brief introduction to number bonds. Explain the concept using examples (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5). Use visual aids on the whiteboard to illustrate. |
| 2 | Printing Cards Distribution | 5 min | Hand out printable cards to the student. Explain the task of filling them in with number bonds that equal 5. |
| 3 | Independent Activity | 10 min | Allow the student to work independently on filling out the number bond cards while providing support if necessary. Ensure engagement with the material. |
| 4 | Physical Activity Break | 5 min | Conduct a short physical activity (e.g., jumping jacks or a mini dance) to energize the student and break up the lesson. |
| 5 | Review and Check | 5 min | Collect the completed number bond cards or random check them to provide feedback. Discuss answers and clarify any misunderstandings. |
| 6 | Closing and Homework Assignment | 5 min | Recap the lesson, summarizing the key points about number bonds. Assign homework that reinforces the concept without a presentation requirement. |
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about something very exciting called number bonds. Has anyone heard of number bonds before? (Pause for responses) Wonderful! Number bonds are pairs of numbers that add up to a specific total. For example, if I have 2 and 3, if I put them together, they make 5!
Let’s think about it like this: (Draw on the whiteboard) if I have 2 apples and my friend gives me 3 more apples, how many apples do I have altogether? That’s right! 2 plus 3 equals 5.
Now, we are going to explore more number bonds that total 5 today. Let’s see how many different pairs we can find. Are you ready?"
"Now, I’m going to hand out some special cards to each of you. These are called number bond cards. (Distribute cards)
On these cards, you’ll see a space to write two numbers that add up to 5. For example, you might write 1 and 4, or maybe 0 and 5. Your task is to fill in the pairs that make 5 on your cards.
Let’s practice filling one in together. (Model with an example on a card) Remember, there are different pairs!
You can start now, and I will walk around to help if you need any support!"
"Alright, now that you have your number bond cards, it’s time for you to work independently. Take your time to think of all the different combinations you can come up with that add up to 5.
If you need assistance or have any questions, just raise your hand, and I’ll come to help you. Remember, this is a fun exercise to help us understand numbers better!"
(Pause for 10 minutes to allow students to complete the task)
"Great job, everyone! You’ve worked really hard. Now it’s time to take a quick break and get our bodies moving. Let’s do some jumping jacks together! (Lead students in a short set of jumping jacks)
How does that feel? Good? Let’s do a little dance now to energize our brains! (Play a short fun song and encourage movement)
Fantastic! Now that we’re all energized, let’s get back to our number bonds!"
"Alright, let’s review what we’ve done today. I’d like to collect your number bond cards now. (Collect cards) I’m going to randomly check a few of them to see how you did.
As I go through them, if you have any questions about your answers or if something doesn’t seem right, just ask! Let’s discuss what we found together. Who can remind me of a pair of numbers that makes 5? (Encourage responses) Excellent!"
"To wrap up our lesson today, can anyone share what they learned about number bonds? That’s right! Number bonds help us understand how numbers work together, and we can use different pairs to make a total of 5.
For your homework, I’d like you to practice number bonds a bit more. Create your own number bond pairs for the number 5 and draw pictures to represent them. You won’t need to present it; just bring it back next time so we can share!
Thank you for all your hard work today! See you next time!"
