Number Bonds

Even if your school district has not adapted the Singapore Math curriculum, I'm sure you've heard the term "number bond" before.  The purposes of "number bonds" are to focus on the bonds between three numbers and to reduce the amount of math facts needed to be memorized.  A student can visualize one number bond and know the four related facts (Growing up I learned this as "fact families).

3 + 4 = 7

4 + 3 = 7

7 - 3 = 4

7 - 4 = 3
