Number Bonds, Odd / Even Numbers and Counting Activity!

Number Bonds

Now that C is confident in doing simple addition, we came up with a number bonds chart to show how different numbers can add up to give the same result. For example, there are 4 ways to derive 4:

1+3 = 4

2+2 = 4

3+1 = 4

4+0 = 4

C working on the number bonds activity
to derive 10.

The number bonds chart can be downloaded here. It shows the different ways to derive numbers from 2 to 10.  You can also find a DOUBLES chart and a number bonds activity within the download.

Counting Dots

C matching the number of dots to the correct number.

Counting dots is a great way to teach kids to count items correctly. It provides a good way for our kids to observe and focus on counting each dot/item just once. Playing games that utilize dice is a fantastic way to teach a child to count to 6. Meanwhile, here's a counting dot puzzle that helps preschoolers count to 12. You can print and cut out as puzzle pieces. Lamination is highly recommended for durability.

Odd / Even

C deciphering odd and even numbers.

Dots are also a great way to provide our preschoolers a visual about odd / even numbers. For a start, the explanation to C is that even numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 have dots that have an equal / balanced number of dots on two sides (if an imaginary line is drawn right down the middle), while odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are unbalanced. 

Here's the Odd / Even Puzzle printable. Print, laminate and cut out as puzzle pieces!
