Simple Adding Bonds

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a math activity designed to help students identify and write down different combinations of numbers that add up to ten. It features several snowmen with ten-frame hats, where some frames are filled to represent a number, and students are expected to find the missing number that would complete the ten. One example is provided at the top, demonstrating the concept with numbers 7 and 3. The students must fill in the blanks for the remaining snowmen, developing their understanding of addition and number bonds to ten.

This worksheet is aimed at teaching students the essential mathematical concept of making tens, which is pivotal for understanding place value and arithmetic operations. It helps students explore and memorize the various pairs of numbers that sum up to ten, known as number bonds. These skills are crucial for developing efficient mental math strategies and are foundational for more advanced math concepts. The inclusion of a self-assessment section with smiley faces allows students to reflect on how well they understood and completed the task, promoting self-regulation in learning.
