The image shows two flower-themed diagrams illustrating
number bonds to 7 and to 8. These are visual tools used in early mathematics education to help children understand how numbers can be split into parts that add up to a whole.

🔹 Left Diagram: Number Bonds to 7
- The center of the flower has the number
7.
- Each petal contains a pair of numbers that
add up to 7.
- Let's check each petal:
| Petal | Numbers | Sum |
|-------|--------|-----|
| Top | 0 and 7 | 0 + 7 = 7
✔ |
| Upper-right | 1 and 6 | 1 + 6 = 7
✔ |
| Right | 2 and 5 | 2 + 5 = 7
✔ |
| Lower-right | 3 and 4 | 3 + 4 = 7
✔ |
| Bottom | 4 and 3 | 4 + 3 = 7
✔ |
| Lower-left | 5 and 2 | 5 + 2 = 7
✔ |
| Left | 6 and 1 | 6 + 1 = 7
✔ |
| Upper-left | 7 and 0 | 7 + 0 = 7
✔ |
✔ All petals correctly show combinations that make 7.

🔹 Right Diagram: Number Bonds to 8
- The center of the flower has the number
8.
- Each petal contains a pair of numbers that
add up to 8.
- Check each petal:
| Petal | Numbers | Sum |
|-------|--------|-----|
| Top | 0 and 8 | 0 + 8 = 8
✔ |
| Upper-right | 1 and 7 | 1 + 7 = 8
✔ |
| Right | 2 and 6 | 2 + 6 = 8
✔ |
| Lower-right | 3 and 5 | 3 + 5 = 8
✔ |
| Bottom | 4 and 4 | 4 + 4 = 8
✔ |
| Lower-left | 5 and 3 | 5 + 3 = 8
✔ |
| Left | 6 and 2 | 6 + 2 = 8
✔ |
| Upper-left | 7 and 1 | 7 + 1 = 8
✔ |
✔ All petals correctly show combinations that make 8.

✔ Conclusion:
Both diagrams are
correct and display all possible
number bonds (pairs of numbers) that sum to 7 and 8, respectively. These are excellent visual aids for teaching addition and subtraction facts within small numbers.
> 💡
Purpose: Number bonds help students see the relationships between numbers and develop mental math skills by understanding how numbers can be broken down and combined.
