Number bonds. You've probably heard of them, maybe even seen them used in primary grades, but have you ever experienced how to work with them from kindergarten through middle school? Yes, that's correct; this powerful tool is a thread that connects very early numeracy concepts up to algebraic relationships. Join me in this session as we use number bond workmats to learn how you can utilize this strategy across various domains and grade levels to build conceptual understanding and fluency alongside procedural fluency.
