About this worksheet
Six number bonds, each with the whole at the top, one part filled in and one empty circle. The child works out the missing part, writes it in the circle and writes the same number on the line of the subtraction problem underneath.
Number bonds show that subtraction is just finding a missing part, which is the idea addition and subtraction both rest on. Seeing 7 split into 3 and 4 makes 7 − 3 = 4 feel obvious rather than memorized.
Plain and printer friendly, with a small pencil and crayon at the top.
