Use a number bond to show parts.

A number bond is a tool you can use to show parts of a whole. A number bond has one circle on top and two circles on the bottom. The top number shows the whole. The bottom numbers show the parts.

Decompose 8 using a number bond.

To show 8 in a number bond, put 8 in the top circle. Then the parts go in the lower circles. 2 and 6 make 8. 2 and 6 can go in the lower circles.

Compose 9 using a number bond.

9 goes in the top circle. 6 and 3 make 9 so the numbers 6 and 3 can go in the lower circles. You can say 6 and 3 make 9 OR 3 and 6 make 9.
