number bond songs...

[chipandbiff]

Does anyone know of any cds that have number bond songs on them? I think this might help us with year one numeracy....

Thanks in advance!!

I don't know a cd but I do know a number bond song....

To the tune of "knees up mother brown":

one and nine is ten,
two and eight is ten,
three and seven and four and six and five and five is ten.
Five and five is ten,
six and four is ten,
seven and three and eight and two and nine and one is ten. Oi!

but my kids know their number bonds...

www.andrelleducation.co.uk/shop/by-type/books/big-maths-learn-its-jingles/ I use this the children love the songs but it is quite expensive

I sing one to frere jacques with my Y1 class and they love it.

One and nine
One and nine
Nine and one
Nine and one
Add/bring them both together (we make a plus symbol with our arms at this point)
Add/bring them both together
That makes ten
That makes ten

Thankyou everyone....this is all a big help. I have been sitting here singing to myself and trying them all out!!!

mrz the dvd looked good, I will ask the library if they can get hold of it for me - is it by the same Ros Wilson that created Big Writing? And if so, does that mean that Big Maths is on its way?

Thanks again everyone!

We have been using Big Maths for a year now. The programme is published and delivered by Ros Wilson's company but written by Ben Harding a head teacher who developed the ideas in his school with great success

to the tune of "row, row, row your boat"

Nine and one add up to ten,
So do eight and two,
Seven and three
Six and four
Five and five do too.

Thanks

My Y1 number group love this Farmer Pete song. We have some laminated sheets with a pen, a farmer and 10 sheep so that we can act it all out too.

An MNer once told us this version and I've been using it ever since.
To the tune of 'row, row, row your boat'

one and nine are number bonds
two and eight are friends
three and seven
four and six
five and five are twins.

My DD sings
1 add 9, 2 add 8, 3 add 7, counting's great
4 add 6, 5 add 5, 6 add 4, lets let's count some more
7 add 3, 8 add 2, 9 add 1 we're almost done
10 add zero, zero add 10,
We know our number bonds to 10

To the tune of This old man (Knick knack paddywhack)
