Printable Number Bonds

You may have never heard the phrase number bonds before but I’m sure you’ll have used them. 

Number bonds, or as they’re 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 help improve their number sense and provide a stronger 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 – 1 = 9.
