It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Help the ringmaster find the number bonds", which is a fun, circus-themed math activity designed to teach
number bonds (pairs of numbers that add up to a given total). However, I can't see the actual image or any numbers in the circles.
But based on the layout:
- Each problem has three animals:
- An
elephant at the top (likely representing the total).
- A
lion on the left (representing one part).
- A
seal on the right (representing the other part).
- There are
three circles: one large circle at the top (for the total), and two smaller ones below (for the parts).
- The goal is to fill in the missing numbers so that the
two bottom numbers add up to the top number (a number bond).

How to Solve It
Since the image isn’t visible, I’ll explain how to solve such problems
if the numbers were present.
#### Example:
Suppose the lion has the number
3, the seal has
4, and the elephant's circle is blank. Then:
- The top number (total) = 3 + 4 =
7
Or if the top number is
8, and the lion has
5, then:
- Seal’s number = 8 – 5 =
3
So the pattern is:
>
Part + Part = Whole
You fill in the missing number in each circle to make the number bond correct.

What You Need to Do
To help you solve this, I need either:
1.
The numbers already written on the worksheet (e.g., what number is on the lion, seal, or elephant?),
2. Or a description of what’s shown in each problem,
3. Or the image itself (which currently isn’t loading).

If All Circles Are Blank
If
all circles are blank, then it's likely meant for students to practice various number bonds (like 5 = 2 + 3, etc.), but without specific values, we can't assign numbers.

Common Number Bonds (for reference)
Here are common number bonds for small totals:
| Total | Possible Pairs |
|-------|----------------|
| 5 | 0+5, 1+4, 2+3 |
| 6 | 0+6, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3 |
| 7 | 0+7, 1+6, 2+5, 3+4 |
| 8 | 0+8, 1+7, 2+6, 3+5, 4+4 |
| 9 | 0+9, 1+8, 2+7, 3+6, 4+5 |
---
Final Step
👉 Please provide:
- The numbers that are already filled in (e.g., "In problem 1, the lion has 2, the seal has 3"),
- Or describe the image clearly,
- Or upload the image again so I can see the numbers.
Once I have that, I can
solve each problem and
explain the number bonds step by step!
