Make 7s

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a simple number composition activity where the target number is 7, as indicated in the boxes at the top of each section. One section shows an example with colored dots: six orange dots and one green dot, which add up to the target number. The rest of the worksheet provides empty circles under each number 7, where students are meant to determine and fill in different combinations of two numbers that add up to seven.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about number bonds, specifically focusing on the different pairs of numbers that can be combined to make the number seven. It helps young learners understand the concept of addition as the joining together of two or more numbers to make a larger number. The use of visual aids like colored dots supports the development of concrete understanding of abstract numerical concepts. This type of activity also encourages students to explore the commutative property of addition, which states that numbers can be added in any order to achieve the same sum.
