What is a Number Bond?


A Number Bond has 3 parts:
1. Part 1 (In this picture it is the number 7)
2. Part 2 ( In this picture it is the number 3)
3. Whole ( Add the two parts together to make a whole.  In this case, the whole is 10)


 

After the students understand that a number bond has two parts and one whole, they practice filling in sections that are missing.  For example, the missing parts in the number bonds above might be: 1 and 4, 2 and 3, 5 and 0.  This is how this program begins to introduce addition. 


If you feel your child is struggling with this at home, you may want to give this a try. Draw several blank number bonds on a scrap piece of paper and use any number between 1 and 20 for the whole. 

 

This simple activitiy can be used for any number, and is a great way to practice math facts! 


OR  for a CHALLENGE....GIVE THIS A TRY! 
Can you add three numbers together that make 9?

  1. Solitude is the place where we can connect with profound bonds that are deeper than the emergency bonds of fear and anger. See the link below for more info.
