Here’s another book about baby animals written and illustrated by Eric Carle.   In this book, we are introduced to a fox kit, a seal pup, a giraffe calf, and more adorable baby animals. We also get to hear the sounds that each animal makes.  This story also features many rhyming words.

Can you identify the rhyming words that you hear in the story?

Number bonds help kids build their understanding of the part-part-whole concept, which refers to a whole number being made up of two or more parts.

Number bonds show how numbers join together, and how they break down into its parts.

Number bonds are also a great way to learn the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Example: If I have ten, and take five away “how many are left?” and I have five “how many more do I need to make 10?”

Practice:  Let’s show how many ways we can make 10.

1+9=10

9+1=10

10-9=1

10-1=9

Can you tell your grown-up the other number sentences for each number bond picture?

Here’s another fun way to learn the number bonds for addition to 10. ( Remember the colours of the rainbow?)

Lesson 9:

I can decompose 10 to subtract. (I  can use a ten frame to find all the combinations that subtract from 10).
