Number Bonds add to 10 is a Grade 1 mathematics worksheet that helps students find a missing addend in equations that make 10. Across 10 multiple-choice questions, students solve both forms of the number bond: a known first addend, such as 7 + __ = 10, and a missing first addend, such as __ + 5 = 10. The repeated practice with pairs from 1 and 9 through 5 and 5 supports recognition of the complements that combine to 10. This free printable worksheet is useful for introducing number bonds, reinforcing addition fluency, or checking whether students can use a known addend to determine the missing partner. Students select one answer from four choices for each item, allowing teachers to quickly identify whether errors come from misunderstanding the missing-addend structure or miscalculating the pair. It includes a complete answer key for efficient review and grading.

This Grade 1 mathematics worksheet focuses on finding missing addends in number bonds that total 10. Its 10 multiple-choice questions use both forms of the equation—such as 7 + __ = 10 and __ + 5 = 10—so students practice identifying the number that completes each pair.
Introduce the idea that two addends combine to make 10, then model one item by asking students what part is missing from the known addend. Have students solve the worksheet’s equations with counters, ten-frames, or drawings before choosing an answer, and discuss how reversing the addends does not change the total. Use the completed multiple-choice items to review complement pairs such as 7 and 3 or 6 and 4.
Students may choose the given addend instead of finding its missing partner, especially in equations where the blank comes first, such as __ + 6 = 10. They may also select an option without checking whether the two numbers total 10, or confuse close pairs such as 7 and 2 instead of 7 and 3. Ask students to verify each choice by adding both numbers together.
You can assign this worksheet as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade responses efficiently. The PDF option also supports classrooms that are reducing screen time while students practise missing addends.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the addition equations and answer choices are easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when those changes will help students work independently with the number bond items.
