What does this printable ask my child to do?

It asks your child to use number bond models and writing fields to show pairs of numbers that make 10.

How should I introduce the page if my child gets stuck?

Point to the total 10 first, then read one part aloud and ask which number goes with it to make ten.

Is this worksheet good for a five-year-old in kindergarten?

It is a good match for many kindergarteners who recognize numbers to 10 and are beginning to combine small numbers.

Can this help with subtraction too?

Yes, the same number bonds can be read as 10 split into two parts, which supports early subtraction thinking.

Should my child finish all four number bonds at once?

A short sitting is fine, so you can do two bonds, take a break, and come back to the rest later.

How can I reuse the page after it is finished?

Place it in a dry-erase sleeve or cover a number with a sticky note and ask your child to name the missing part.

Learning Outcomes

Five-year-old learner → Connect parts and whole → Sees 10 as a whole made from two smaller numbers.

Child and adult → Read and write number bonds → Talks through each pair before writing in the fields.

Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet

Kindergarten Math

English Addition & Subtraction Logical Thinking 5 years old

Five-year-olds can know the counting words and still stall when number parts have to fit together. This one-page make ten worksheet keeps the job small: use each number bond to show that 7 and 3, 2 and 8, 9 and 1, and 4 and 6 make 10, then use the writing fields to record the numbers.

This is a good fit when a kindergartener can recognize numerals from 1 to 10 and is starting to see numbers as groups. If ten still feels a little fuzzy, try the Make Ten Ten Frames Worksheet first, because ten frames let kids see a full set of ten before working with number bonds alone.

The number bond layout helps make the part-whole idea visible. The total is 10, and each pair shows two parts that belong together. As you read the bonds aloud, you can say, “Seven and three make ten,” then turn it around with, “Ten can be split into seven and three.” That keeps the work tied to addition while gently opening the door to subtraction thinking.

Sit nearby and let the pencil work stay simple. If your child hesitates, cover one part with your finger and ask, “What number goes with this one to make ten?” After this page, the Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet is a natural next step because it gives more practice with the same part-and-whole structure.
