Rapid recall of basic number facts really helps the children to do well in all of their maths as they can use facts that they know to help solve other problems. Rapid recall of all of the number bonds to 20 is an essential Year One expectation. Why not have a go at one of the games at home or find other ways to practise your number bonds. A little practise every day makes a big difference! Please be aware that the links below open Top Marks Maths games.
