Today for our Art lesson and our topic on land transportation and Occupations we learned about firefighters. We learned about the firefighter station, the firefighter truck, what the firefighters do at the station and how to be safe when there is a fire.

Number bonds..

Number bonds...

What are number bonds? A number bond is a mental picture of the relationship between a number and the parts that combine to make it. 
Number bonds let children see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Subtraction is not a totally different thing from addition; they are mirror images. To subtract means to figure out how much more you would have to add to get the whole thing.
This week we learned our number bonds to 10. What numbers makes 10. For example 5 and 5 makes 10, 6 and 4 makes, 7 and 3 makes etc.
