Let’s solve each number bond step by step.
A
number bond shows how a number can be split into two parts. The top number is the whole, and the two bottom numbers are the parts that add up to the whole.
In all these problems, the whole number is
2. So we need to find what number goes in the blank so that:
> blank + other part = 2
---
First problem:
Top: 2
Bottom right: 1
Bottom left: ?
We ask: What plus 1 equals 2?
→ 1 + 1 = 2
So the missing number is
1
---
Second problem:
Top: 2
Bottom right: 2
Bottom left: ?
We ask: What plus 2 equals 2?
→ 0 + 2 = 2
So the missing number is
0
---
Third problem:
Top: 2
Bottom right: 0
Bottom left: ?
We ask: What plus 0 equals 2?
→ 2 + 0 = 2
So the missing number is
2
---
Final Answer:
The missing numbers are:
- First box:
1
- Second box:
0
- Third box:
2
