How many problems are on this worksheet?
1 on one page, with the answer key on the last page.
What grade and standard is it for?
Grade 2. Common Core: 2.OA.C.3. Alberta: Number 1.
Can I print more than one version?

What is a number bond?
A picture of a number and two parts that make it: 10 at the top, 7 and 3 below. It shows that addition and subtraction are two views of one fact.
Why use cut-and-paste sorts?
Sorting asks students to decide and explain, not just compute, and handling the cards keeps younger students working with the idea for longer.
