Number Bonds

The focus on number sense right from the start. Number bonds is taught before addition.

Number Bonds is emphasized prior to the learning of addition.

Children are given, say, 5 unifix cubes and guided to see that 1 and 4 make 5, for example. Others may say that 3 and 2 make 5 or 4 and 1 make 5. Yet others may say that 5 and 0 make 5.

Addition Facts & Number Sense

The topics are arranged in a way that makes learning progressive and systematic – this is part of the idea of a spiral curriculum.

Jerome Bruner

Ideas are introduced using concrete materials. Pictorial representations follow. Finally, children

engage with the abstract symbols. This is called the CPA Approach in Singapore.
