Arithmetic – Number bonds to 20

Below is an outline of how to develop number bond skills:

1. Add together all numbers that = 20, e.g. 0 + 20 = 20, 1 + 19 = 20
2. Write all calculations with the answer at the front (20 = 4 + 16) and at the end (4 + 16 = 20) of the number sentence
3. Write related subtraction facts, e.g. 4 + 16 = 20 so 20 – 16 = 4 and 20 – 4 = 16

Extension Challenge

Complete addition calculations with missing numbers, e.g. __ + 5 = 20 and 3 + __ = 20 and 20 = 6 + __ and 20 = __ + 15.
