The task in the image involves finding "number bonds" for each set of animals. Number bonds are pairs of numbers that add up to a given total. In this case, the total is 10, and we need to determine how many animals are on each side of the elephant (the central figure) and ensure that the sum of the animals on both sides equals 10.
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Understanding the Problem:
- Each row shows an elephant with animals on either side.
- The goal is to count the number of animals on the left and right sides of the elephant and ensure their sum equals 10.
- The animals include lions and seals.
####
Analyzing Each Row:
1.
Row 1:
- Left side: 1 lion
- Right side: 9 seals
- Total: \( 1 + 9 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 1 + 9 \)
2.
Row 2:
- Left side: 2 lions
- Right side: 8 seals
- Total: \( 2 + 8 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 2 + 8 \)
3.
Row 3:
- Left side: 3 lions
- Right side: 7 seals
- Total: \( 3 + 7 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 3 + 7 \)
4.
Row 4:
- Left side: 4 lions
- Right side: 6 seals
- Total: \( 4 + 6 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 4 + 6 \)
5.
Row 5:
- Left side: 5 lions
- Right side: 5 seals
- Total: \( 5 + 5 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 5 + 5 \)
6.
Row 6:
- Left side: 6 lions
- Right side: 4 seals
- Total: \( 6 + 4 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 6 + 4 \)
7.
Row 7:
- Left side: 7 lions
- Right side: 3 seals
- Total: \( 7 + 3 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 7 + 3 \)
8.
Row 8:
- Left side: 8 lions
- Right side: 2 seals
- Total: \( 8 + 2 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 8 + 2 \)
9.
Row 9:
- Left side: 9 lions
- Right side: 1 seal
- Total: \( 9 + 1 = 10 \)
- Number bond: \( 9 + 1 \)
Final Answer:
The number bonds for each row are as follows:
1. \( 1 + 9 \)
2. \( 2 + 8 \)
3. \( 3 + 7 \)
4. \( 4 + 6 \)
5. \( 5 + 5 \)
6. \( 6 + 4 \)
7. \( 7 + 3 \)
8. \( 8 + 2 \)
9. \( 9 + 1 \)
\[
\boxed{1+9, 2+8, 3+7, 4+6, 5+5, 6+4, 7+3, 8+2, 9+1}
\]
