Making Number Bonds

We have begun to explore the value of numbers. We are learning that a number represents an amount and it can be shown in different ways. The terms “the story of one, two, three and four” showed how a given number combines to a given amount. The keiki also learned the words “number bonds”- which shows how a number is made of two or more parts. These words will be a big part of our math learning as we learn number values and combinations over this year. The following pictures show some students as a number bond. Look at what is same/different to show two parts becoming a whole.
