About this chart
A number bond picture with every way to make 5 and every way to make 10, shown with two-color dots.
What kids practice
A number bond shows how a number splits into two parts, like 5 is 2 and 3. Kindergartners learn the different ways to break apart numbers up to 10, and learn the pairs that make 10. These pairs are the base for adding and subtracting later on.
Watch for
- Writing the whole in a part circle, or adding the whole and a part together.
- Counting all the dots instead of just the missing part.
- Forgetting that 0 and 10, or 0 and 5, are pairs too.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full number bonds to 5 and 10 guide for kindergarten.
