Itโs time to help those buzzing bees by filling in the missing numbers on this flower number bonds worksheet.
Why Are Learning The Number Bonds Important?
Donโt worry if youโve never heard the phrase number bonds before. If you donโt work in education thereโs a good chance you wonโt have.
Number bonds, or as theyโre sometimes called number facts or number pairs, are simply pairs of numbers that add up to another number.
So the number bonds to 10 are the pairs of numbers that add up to 10. So, 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7, 4 and 6, 5 and 5 and 10 and 0.
Number bonds are extremely useful for you children to learn as they can helpย improve their number senseย and provide a mental picture of the relationships between two numbers.
This will make mental math a lot easier and helps with subtraction as well as addition. If they know that 9 + 1 = 10, and they have a strong mental picture of this, then they can easily see that 10 โ 1 = 9.
What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?



While using this number bond worksheet, your children will have the chance to practice and develop some early math skills such as:

Once youโve downloaded it, youโll need to print it off and grab some pencils.
After that youโre all done!
Then your little ones will need to carefully work out the correct missing numbers in the flowers.
As all the numbers are less than 10, using their fingers can be a great way to do this. Put up the total amount of fingers as shown in the plant pot, then put down the number shown in the flower. However many fingers they have left is what theyโll need to write in the empty flower.
Or you could use objects such as building blocks. Just make a tower with the same amount of bricks as the number in the pot. Then, break off an amount of bricks that matches the number in the flower. Again, whatever is left is the answer.
If they need a bit more practice with writing the numbers you may want to check out some of these number formation activities.
And when theyโve answered them all they can color in the flowers!
