What should my child do on this page?

They should read each number bond, notice the two parts, and write the numbers that make the whole number 10.

Is this worksheet right for a first grader?

It is a good fit for many first graders who are practicing addition facts within 10 and learning how parts make a whole.

How can I help if my child gets stuck?

Point to the total 10, say one part aloud, and ask what number joins it to make 10.

Why are there only four number bonds?

A short page gives enough focused practice with make-ten pairs without making the work feel too long.

Can this be used for subtraction practice too?

Yes, you can cover one part and ask what is missing from 10, using the same number-bond model.

Should my child finish it without help?

Shared practice is fine, especially if they are still learning how to read a number bond and connect the parts to the whole.

Learning Outcomes

Number bonds → Identify two parts that make 10 → Child connects pairs like 2 and 8 with the whole.

Addition facts → Read and write make-ten combinations → Child practices 9 and 1, 6 and 4, and 5 and 5.

Part-whole thinking → Use the model to reason about 10 → Child prepares for related missing-part and subtraction questions.

Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet

1st Grade Math

English Addition & Subtraction Logical Thinking 7+ years old

Seven-year-olds can count confidently and still pause when a ten fact is shown as two parts. This one-page printable keeps the task small: read each number bond, write the parts, and see how 2 and 8, 9 and 1, 6 and 4, and 5 and 5 make 10.

This page fits a first grader who is ready to connect addition facts with a visual model. If 10 still feels slippery, sit beside them and say each pair aloud before they write. The goal is simple practice with part and whole thinking, not speed.

The number-bond layout helps children see that two smaller numbers can join to make 10. Ask, “Which two parts do you see?” and “What is the whole?” Then let them write in the fields. If they get stuck, point to the total 10 and cover one part with your finger so they can think about the missing part.

After this page, try Little Math Stories Addition and Subtraction Worksheet to place addition and subtraction thinking inside short word problems. For a different number sense step, Compare Numbers Worksheet for First Grade helps children look closely at numbers before deciding which one is greater.
