About this printable

This printable is a one-page number-bonds strategy mat showing a part–part–whole diagram, a write-in area for choosing a whole, multiple empty number-bond templates to complete, strategy reminders (tens + ones, near doubles, make a ten, fact families) and short problem questions with space for working.
