Addition and subtraction within 10 - Number bonds to ten - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help children understand and practice number bonds to ten, a fundamental concept in early mathematics. The exercises involve a variety of engaging activities that combine visual aids with written number sentences. To begin with, children are presented with pictorial representations of number bonds using ten frames, where they must match these to the corresponding written number sentences. The ten frames display circles in different colours, allowing the children to count and verify if the pictorial representation aligns with the written statement.

Building on this, the worksheet encourages children to complete number sentences by using partially filled ten frames to determine how many more circles are needed to reach the total of ten. Additionally, they are tasked with adding spots to ladybirds, ensuring that each insect has a total of ten spots. This visual approach helps solidify their understanding of addition and subtraction within ten. As they progress, children write out full number bond sentences based on the ladybirds and use ten frames to find the preceding and subsequent number bonds. They are also challenged to find sets of three numbers that add up to ten and to use their reasoning skills to identify which number is the odd one out in a given row, enhancing their critical thinking and fluency in the concept of number bonds to ten.
