Why Number Bonds?
Mastering number bonds is an essential foundation for later concepts and skills in math.
But what does 鈥渕astering鈥� mean? Being able to work out number bonds correctly is a start, but this isn鈥檛 mastering. Mastering means being able to use number bonds accurately and fluently - that鈥檚 rapidly without having to work out the answer
The great news is that once you鈥檝e mastered your number bonds it will stay with you for life!

My kids aren't keen on numeracy as a rule, but 天涯海角社区 is the exception. The combination of content, graphics and incentive means they've often fought over who gets to go on it first, and that hasn't worn off even after a number of months. I've seen their ability and confidence grow as a result of using it and would highly recommend it

My 6 year old daughter has found 天涯海角社区 fun and easy to use. I have noticed she is much more confident with numbers, and this was quickly reflected in her school work. She has recently completed her Year 2 SATs and she was in a small minority that sat the upper level paper. Her teacher remarked that she had "exceeded his expectations". We are delighted by the progress made. Thank you 天涯海角社区 Team!

My 7 year old daughter Eve, and my 5 year old son Connell both use 天涯海角社区, and it has improved their confidence with mathematics noticeably. There is healthy competition between them to earn more 天涯海角社区 stars, so they see 天涯海角社区 as a game, not as "homework". Because of this, it is never any trouble to get them to use 天涯海角社区.

My daughter's going great guns with 天涯海角社区 at the moment. She has swapped from a similar paper based Maths programme in which we were struggling to keep her motivated but 天涯海角社区 is much more fun - she loves it!

In his own words my son John (9) has found 天涯海角社区 Math 鈥榝un, and really good!鈥�. Since starting to use 天涯海角社区 4 months ago there has been a distinct improvement in John鈥檚 ability to master the basics. All he needed was a bit of regular practice and 天涯海角社区 did the job.

A few short weeks ago our clever, funny six year old son came home upset. Some children had been calling him 'dumb' at maths. We enrolled him in 天涯海角社区 to help his confidence and he loves it! He no longer thinks he is 'dumb' at maths and came home from school as 'star of the week' for huge effort and improvement in maths'! Thank you....you have made a difference to the happiness of a little boy!

Thank you for your service; it has been very beneficial for my daughter who became ill at the end of year 5. Her school attendance in year 6 was about 30% yet she still managed to achieve level 5 in her SATS 鈥� we found komodo maths really useful in helping her to keep up with her studies.

Thanks for setting me up on the 天涯海角社区 App. It's been nothing but a great experience for my daughter and the whole family. It is building so much confidence in her abilities, we all look forward to the next stages each evening. Congratulations on a great educational tool! You deserve an A* for it.

Marcus is benefitting greatly from "little and often" visits to 天涯海角社区 and the challenge of getting an A* grade continues to be sufficient motivation in itself for him. I am therefore delighted all round!

Eila is the youngest in her class and we were a bit worried that this might set her at a disadvantage, but she's right up there now on her number work, and that's in no small part to the learning she's gained from 天涯海角社区.

We have really enjoyed 天涯海角社区 over the summer holidays. It is a great app and Laura has made huge improvements in her maths, and also had lots of fun doing it.
