Make 7, 8, 9, and 10

Worksheet Description

This worksheet consists of four quadrants, each containing several addition equations arranged in a circular pattern around a central number. The task for students is to fill in the missing numbers within the circles so that each equation adds up to the central number. The equations are a mix of ones with one known addend and one blank, and ones with a blank addend and a zero.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students the concept of number bonds, which are the pairs of numbers that add up to a given sum, in this case, the central number of each quadrant. It helps to reinforce basic addition skills and the understanding that there can be multiple combinations of numbers that result in the same sum. This exercise also promotes critical thinking as students must figure out which numbers complete the equations correctly. By working through the various combinations, students develop a stronger grasp of addition and number relationships.
