Number Bonds
What Are Number Bonds?
Number bonds are a simple way to show how numbers can be broken apart or joined together. They help you see how two parts make a whole.
🧩 How Do They Work?
Think of it like a puzzle: Whole = Part + Part. For example, if you have 7, it can be made from 3 and 4.
7
3
4
This means: 3 + 4 = 7, and 7 - 3 = 4.
