💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to reinforce Year 1 students' understanding of number bonds to 10. It can be used as a classroom activity, homework assignment, or as part of a maths intervention session. Before using the worksheet, ensure children have had prior experience with concrete materials and visual representations of number bonds, such as using counters or ten frames. For differentiation, provide students who are struggling with manipulatives like counters or number lines to support their calculations. Encourage them to physically represent the number bonds. For students who grasp the concept quickly, challenge them to create their own number bond problems or to explain their reasoning for each answer. A common mistake to watch out for is children reversing the numbers in a number bond (e.g., writing 3 + 7 = 10 instead of 7 + 3 = 10). Remind them that the order of addends doesn't change the sum. As an extension activity, have children play a number bond game, such as 'Number Bond Bingo' or 'Number Bond Snap'.
