Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet

The Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet is a one-page Grade 1 math printable that practices addition to 10 with clear number bond models. The page focuses on four pairs, 3 and 7, 8 and 2, 9 and 1, and 4 and 6, so a six-year-old can see which two parts join to make the total of 10.

Make ten facts matter in first grade because children start using known pairs instead of counting every dot or finger from the beginning. Many six-year-olds get the idea one day, then guess the missing part the next day, so a small set of number bonds keeps practice calm and doable.

Sit with your child and read each number bond as a tiny math sentence: “3 and 7 make 10.” Ask your child to point to the two parts, write the missing number if a field is blank, and then say the related subtraction fact, such as “10 take away 3 leaves 7.”

The worksheet is useful because the page stays focused on only four make ten combinations instead of crowding the paper with too many problems. The number bond layout shows the part-part-whole idea in a visual way, which helps children connect addition facts to early subtraction without needing a screen or a long lesson.
