Maths Facts: Number Bonds

Maths Facts: Number Bonds offers a good introduction to the concept of number bonding (while building the scaffolding for future work with bigger fact families). The multi-sensory approach that has young learners dragging numbers to complete a bond helps reinforce their building number sense. This app is particularly strong in the way it pairs with the Singapore Math curriculum familiar to students in schools that incorporate this curriculum

Osmo Tangram

Tangram for Osmo is a great way for younger students to practice spatial awareness, symmetry, shapes, and design. We have multiple sets (enough for half groups) and can be checked out through the library.

Make-10

MAKE-10 is an app that also promotes early number sense. Because JK and SK students can begin practicing concepts of number bonding first using dots, then digits, it helps reinforce number sense rather than simple rote memorization.

  • Advantages 

levels can be adjusted to begin with “make 5” and then can increase in increments

  • Drawback

    the “Tetris” style game movement can at first overwhelm JK students who are just beginning with number recognition
