Number bonds to 5
By the end of Reception, it is expected that children can recall the number bonds to 5.
0 + 5 = 5
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
4 + 1 = 5
5 + 0 = 5
Having this knowledge stored in the long term memory, allows children to work through addition and subtraction with more fluidity, and confidence with their Maths when learning other concepts.
