As we continue to explore addition and subtraction during our maths lessons, we have been exploring creating our own equation stories.

‘If seven teddies had a party but two left there would be five left at the party.’

‘Six doughnuts but I eat Six there would be zero.’ NP

‘I have 10 lollies and I give five away to a friend, I would have five left for me. ‘ NH

We have been working on writing our equations and using the symbols and words – plus, minus, add, subtract, equals, altogether.

We have been trying hard to record our number bond equations to ten. See if you can help with this at home, can you write together? We would enjoy seeing any additional work completed at home, remember to take a photo and send it in, via Class Dojo to your child’s key worker.

Wow! We were feeling proud to proud our equations.

Number bonds to 10.
