1 + 9 and 9 + 1=
2 + 8 and 8 + 2=
3 + 7 and 7 + 3=
4 + 6 and 6 + 4=
5 + 5=
Now we know our numbers bonds to 10 we also know our number bonds to 100!
10 + 90 and 90 + 10=
20 + 80 and 80 + 20=
30 + 70 and 70 + 30=
40 + 60 and 60 + 40=
50 + 50=
Set 2 - Addition number facts

5 + 2= 7 5 + 3= 8
6 + 2= 8 6 + 3= 9
7 + 2= 9
9 + 2= 11
Now we have quick recall of our addition facts we can also add multiples of 10.
40 + 20= 60 40 + 30= 70
50 + 20= 70 50 + 30= 80
60 + 20= 80 60 + 30= 90
70 + 20= 90
90 + 20= 110
Set 3 - Number Doubles
6 + 6 = 12
7 + 7 = 14
8 + 8 = 16

Now we know our number doubles we can double our multiples of 10.
60 + 60 = 120
70 + 70 = 140
80 + 80 = 160
90 + 90 = 180
