Description

Instead of turning over digit cards to create calculations, Dice Bonds allows children to use different types of dice. This means that they can practice making bonds to 20 and multiples of 10 rather than just using bonds to 10. It is usually better to play Dice Bonds once the children have had several sessions practising number bonds to 10 and 20, playing games such as Snapping and Clapping or Abacus Bonds.
