Why number bonds matter

Knowing the pairs that make ten by heart is one of the quiet foundations of early maths. Once a child just knows that 7 and 3 make ten, adding, taking away and later mental maths all get easier, because they are not counting from scratch every time. A few minutes of bonds within ten, then within twenty, builds that quick recall gently, without any pressure.
