Subtract From 10 Using Number Bonds

Use number bonds to subtract from 10 in this worksheet! In each problem, learners will first find the missing number in the number bond. Then, students are asked to write a corresponding subtraction sentence.

Geared toward first graders, this practice helps reinforce the number bond subtraction strategy. As students complete each problem, they will also practice decomposing numbers and writing subtraction sentences. These skills will lay the groundwork for double-digit subtraction and can encourage students to see the relationship between subtraction and addition.
