P1 and Number Bonds

5th Feb 2026

 P1 are learning about number bonds to 10, which means understanding all the different ways numbers can be put together to make 10 (for example, 6 and 4, or 8 and 2). This is an important foundation for mental maths, as it helps children become quicker and more confident with addition and subtraction. In class, we use practical resources, games, songs, and visual models to support this learning.
