Apple Picking Number Bonds: Subtraction Within 10

Enjoy the fruits of your labor as you complete this apple-themed subtraction worksheet! For each autumnal number bond, kindergarteners and first graders will first find the missing number. Then, students are asked to write a subtraction sentence to reflect the number bond.

Number bonds are a helpful way to show that a whole number can be broken up into smaller parts. If one part is subtracted from the whole number, the answer will be the other part. By practicing facts within 10, students can build a strong foundation for subtracting with larger numbers.
