Number Bonds Make Subtraction a Breeze!

The number bond is essential in early maths education as it easily visualises the relationship between numbers. It consists of a shape, often a circle or rectangle, encompassing smaller shapes representing two or more parts. These smaller shapes add to the whole and help learners understand the relationship between the parts and the whole.

 Number bonds are beneficial in subtraction as they help students comprehend the relationship between numbers and how subtraction works. By breaking a number down into its parts, students can easily see each fact family’s members, making memorising that grouping of numbers easier. The simplicity and effectiveness of number bonds make them a crucial part of early maths education.
