Number bonds to 4 | Reception maths | addition - BBC Bitesize

There are options to make this more difficult at the bottom of the page but it is important that children start thinking about the different ways of making 5. We talk to the children about each number being a part (E.G 4 + 1 are the parts) and the answer (5) is the whole.

This may seem simple to some at the moment but the children will be breaking these down further in to more parts (E.G 2+1+2= 5   or   1+1+1+2 = 5   or  3+1+1 = 5). This is an important stage to master as this becomes more difficult as the numbers get larger and the methods change.
