Difficulty Level

These number bond worksheets are best for students in preschool and kindergarten.

They were designed for young learners who are interested in math but are not yet ready for worksheets that require a lot of writing. Instead, children learn through coloring, tracing, cutting and pasting, counting, and verbal responses.

My goal with this series was to provide maximum learning with minimal writing, making it easier for younger children to build number sense and confidence.

Most activities work best with a parent, teacher, or caregiver available to guide children through the verbal portions of the worksheets.
