Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet

The Make Ten Number Bonds Worksheet is a one-page Grade 1 math printable with clear number bond models and writing fields. Four bonds use totals of ten with partner pairs nine and one, seven and three, eight and two, and five and five. The page practices addition and subtraction within ten by helping children see two parts that make one whole.

At seven, many children can count to ten, but kids often stall when number facts need to come from memory instead of finger counting. Make ten practice gives first graders a steady anchor for later addition, subtraction, and mental math.

Sit beside your child and start with the total at the top of each bond. Ask your child to read the two parts aloud, write the matching numbers in the fields, and say the full ten fact in a simple sentence, such as nine and one make ten. If your child hesitates, place ten small counters on the table and split the counters into the same two groups shown on the page.

The worksheet stays focused on four carefully chosen make ten pairs, so practice feels short, calm, and doable. The number bond layout is more useful than a long list of problems because children can see the relationship between the whole and the parts while writing each number.
