Hi there, can I please ask for a little advice?

Both moving into Y3 and by the end of Y3, where should our DC be with regards their number bonds?

Thanks in advance

This was a long time ago as DD is now in Y10 but I remember number bonds being key in EYFS and KS1, but by KS2 / Y3 they had assumed these were known and thus a strong foundation and were therefore no longer taught to the core class. I may of course be mis-remembering.

A school would usually share information on what they are teaching so I am hopeful if you ask the school they will be able to let you know.

I spent many years teaching maths interventions in primary and number facts were quite often a sticking point when I tried to dig deeper into why children were struggling with other concepts. They really are a building block.

They are well worth practising often, so that they are automatic.
Some really good online games available.

I only wish some of the pupils I support in secondary schools could grasp these....
