Skills Covered

  • Decompose numbers to 20
  • Find missing parts and wholes
  • Understand part-part-whole relationships
  • Build addition and subtraction fluency to 20
  • Strengthen mental math with larger numbers
  • Bridge to multi-digit decomposition

How to Use These Worksheets

Students find the missing number in each number bond diagram. The whole (top circle) breaks into two parts (bottom circles). Understanding these relationships builds a strong foundation for addition and subtraction.

In the Classroom

Use for independent practice or assessment when teaching number decomposition. These worksheets help students apply their understanding of part-part-whole relationships with larger numbers.

At Home

Use a number line or base-ten blocks for support. Have your child practice thinking about "how many more to make the whole?" Then use the worksheet to reinforce the concept with written number bonds.

Tips for Success

  • Think about "how many more to make the whole?"
  • Use doubles facts as anchors
  • Check by adding both parts
  • Use the answer key for self-checking

Common Core Standards Alignment

These worksheets support the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • K.OA.A.3 Break a number up to 10 into two parts several ways, recording each as a picture or equation (7 = 3 + 4).
  • 1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract to 20, working fluently within 10, with strategies like counting on, making ten, fact families and doubles plus one.
  • 2.OA.B.2 Add and subtract to 20 quickly using strategies done in the head, and by year's end instantly recall every sum of two single-digit numbers.
