What does this page ask my child to do?

It asks them to work with four number bonds where the two parts make ten: four and six, seven and three, five and five, and six and four.

Is this a good fit for a kindergartener who is six?

It is a good fit if they can count to ten and are beginning to understand that two smaller numbers can join to make one total.

How should I introduce the number bonds?

Start with the total of ten, point to each part, and say the fact aloud in words before asking them to write or read the numbers.

What should I do if my child guesses instead of counting?

Use ten small objects and build the pair shown in the bond so they can see and count both parts before writing.

Can this be used for subtraction practice too?

Yes, you can cover one part and ask what is missing from ten, which turns the same bond into a simple missing-part subtraction idea.

Should we finish the whole page in one sitting?

You can, but it is also fine to do two bonds, take a break, and come back when your child is ready to focus again.

Learning Outcomes

Number bonds → Identify parts and whole → Child reads each model as two parts that make a total of ten.

Make ten facts → Complete number pairs → Child practices four combinations: four and six, seven and three, five and five, six and four.

Addition and subtraction readiness → Relate parts to ten → Child sees how known pairs can support later missing-part problems.

Kindergarten Math

English Addition & Subtraction Logical Thinking 6 years old

Six-year-olds often understand counting before they feel sure about number pairs. This printable page keeps the focus small with four make ten number bonds: four and six, seven and three, five and five, and six and four. The total is ten each time, and the writing fields give space to complete or copy the parts as you talk through them.

This is a good fit when a child can count to ten and is starting to see that two smaller numbers can join to make a larger number. If comparing amounts still feels tricky, a quick warm-up with bigger, smaller, or equal groups practice can help them look closely at quantities before working with number bonds.

As you work, point to the whole number first, then each part. Say the number sentence in plain words, such as “four and six make ten,” and let your child write the missing numbers or read the completed bond back to you. The repeated total helps them notice pairs that make ten without needing a long page of problems.

Keep it hands-on if the page feels too abstract. Use ten small objects, cover part of the group with your hand, and match the hidden and shown amounts to one bond on the page. For a next step, little math stories practice can help connect these same addition and subtraction ideas to simple story situations.
