Number bonds to 20.
Make a number bonds bead bracelet!
Get some string and thread 10 pieces of pasta onto it.
Move one piece of pasta to the side so that there is a gap. How many are left – 9. The number bond is 1+9=10
Then systematically move another piece of pasta – now we have got 2 on this side and 8 on the other – 2+8=10.
Continue until you have all the number bonds to 10 – don’t forget 0+10=10 and 10+0=10
Look at the ones which are reversed; 2+8 and 8+2.
Now try with 20 pieces of pasta on a string.
0+20=20 20=0=20
1+19=20 19+1=20
2+18=20 18+2=20
Compare your findings – are there any patterns? 8+2=10 and 18+2=20

Now make a model and label the parts of the skeleton; here are some creative ideas using pasta and cotton buds. You could also sketch a diagram of a skeleton.
This version was made outside with sticks and stones. Could you do this in your garden?
