K-4 Mathematics Resources for Parents/Guardians

This video is designed for first graders and introduces the concept of fact families—groups of three numbers (a whole and two parts) that are connected through addition and subtraction. Your child will learn to use number bonds to see how numbers like 2, 5, and 7 are related, and how to write all the matching equations (like 2 + 5 = 7 and 7 - 5 = 2). The video also shows how number bonds help children find missing numbers in math problems. At first, your child may need visual tools like number bonds to organize their thinking, and that’s perfectly okay. With time and practice, these strategies help build a strong understanding of how numbers work together.
