Number bond and fact family worksheets

Number bonds show how a whole can be split into parts. Fact families take that relationship one step further by using the same three numbers to make related equations. Together they help children see why addition connects to subtraction and why multiplication connects to division, instead of memorising each calculation in isolation.

Choose number bonds for missing-part and missing-whole practice, addition and subtraction families for four related equations, or multiplication and division families for inverse-fact fluency. Additive work can stay within 10, 20 or 100, while multiplication and division can use smaller facts or factors through 12.

Suggested progression

• Build and say number bonds within 10 using counters or drawings.
• Find missing parts and wholes within 20, then within 100.
• Write two addition and two subtraction equations from the same three numbers.
• Connect multiplication facts to their two matching division facts.

How to teach fact families

Ask the learner to identify the whole or product first. Then cover one number and explain which inverse operation can uncover it. When writing a family, keep the same three numbers and check every equation aloud. This makes the relationship visible and discourages guessing from the position of the blank.
