All nine ways to split 8 into two parts, from 8 and 0 to 0 and 8, including the double 4 and 4. One part is given and the other is blank. Counting on from the part you know (“5… 6, 7, 8: three more”) is a good way to find the missing number. Answers on page 2.

Number bond games and tips

  • Say each bond out loud as you write it: “1 and 7 make 8”.
  • Use counters in two colours: put the whole on a ten frame, then turn some over. The two colours are the two parts.
  • Play “hide the part”: put some counters under a cup and ask how many are hiding.
  • Once the sheet feels easy, cover the given part too and ask for both: how many different bonds can you find?

More number sense: ten frames, the more than, less than worksheets and the addition colour by code pages. Every sheet in this set is on the number bonds worksheets page.
