Used to help children understand and learn number bonds, this printable comes in colour or black and white (which can be printed onto coloured card, if you wish). Take any number of counters from 2 to 10 (5 is a good number to start with) and place them in the WHOLE section. Now ask the children to break up the counters up between the 2 PART sections below. Make a note of the numbers and try to find another way to break up the numbers - or start again with another Break It Up printable and counters and repeat the process, asking the children to find a different method.
You can use our Break It Up Number Bond Charts to record the number bonds, if you like.
