Extending number bonds for children with dyscalculia

Succeed with Dyscalculia Book 2: More Number Bonds Combinations for and to 10 is a photocopiable worksheet resource by Steve Chinn and Cat Eadle, designed to help learners with dyscalculia extend and strengthen their number bonds to 10. It follows on from Book 1, giving children further structured practice once the foundations of number bonds have been introduced.

As with the rest of the series, the worksheets use small, carefully sequenced steps so that children experience success before moving on. The uncluttered layout and clear visual representations reduce the risk of learners feeling overwhelmed, while built-in teaching ideas encourage multisensory instruction and the use of concrete materials alongside the worksheets themselves.

For schools

• A ready-to-use, photocopiable master that SENCOs, maths leads and teaching assistants can reproduce for a whole class, small group or one-to-one intervention.
• Provides a natural next step after Book 1, supporting the graduated approach for pupils continuing to work on number bonds as part of an EHCP or SEN support plan.
• Suitable for use across primary and secondary settings wherever a pupil needs further practice with number bonds to 10, regardless of chronological age.
• A practical, low-cost addition to a school's maths intervention toolkit, working well alongside other concrete numeracy resources.

For parents and home learning

• Gives parents a structured way to continue supporting their child's number bonds at home once Book 1 has been completed.
• The "little and often" approach keeps sessions short, helping to reduce frustration for children who find maths stressful.
• Builds on what a child already knows, so home practice feels like a natural next step rather than a fresh challenge.

Children with dyscalculia often need more repetition and a wider range of practice than their peers before number bonds become secure. Succeed with Dyscalculia Book 2 addresses this by extending the number bonds work introduced in Book 1, using the same small, sequential steps and multisensory reinforcement rather than simply repeating the same exercises.

The authors, Steve Chinn and Cat Eadle, base the series on established approaches to teaching maths to learners with dyscalculia, including working from a learner's existing knowledge and consolidating understanding through games and concrete materials.

Whether you are continuing an intervention programme at school or building on progress made at home, Succeed with Dyscalculia Book 2 offers the next step in a clear, manageable sequence. Order your copy from The Dyslexia Shop today.
