What are Number Bonds?

Before we delve into the details of our worksheet, let's quickly review what number bonds are. Number bonds are a fundamental concept in mathematics that illustrate the relationship between numbers. They show how a number can be broken down into its component parts. For example, the number 5 can be broken down into 2 and 3, or 1 and 4.

Introducing Lolly Number Bonds Worksheet

Our Lolly Number Bonds worksheet takes a creative approach to teaching number bonds by incorporating everyone's favorite sweet treat: lollipops! This worksheet is designed to engage young learners and make the learning process enjoyable.

​

How It Works

1. Visual Representation: The worksheet features an adorable illustration of a jar filled with colorful lollipops. Students are tasked with using two different colored pencils to color in the lollipops in the jar.

2. Number Sentences: Beneath the jar, students will find a space to fill in the number sentence that represents the lollipops in the jar. For example, if there are 5 lollipops in the jar and 3 of them are red and 2 of them are blue, the number sentence would be 3 + 2 = 5.

3. Exploring Different Combinations: But the fun doesn't stop there! Our worksheet includes not just one, but two identical jars for students to color in. However, there's a twist! Students are challenged to think of different combinations to show a different way to add up to the given number. This encourages critical thinking and reinforces the concept of number bonds in a playful way.
