Help wanted! In this exciting workbook, cowboys, aliens, and tooth fairies are all in a bind. The answer? Number bonds! Read the clues, solve the puzzles, and protect the cheeseburgers. Thanks a bunch!

Number bonds are like special pairs of numbers that fit together perfectly to make another number, just like puzzle pieces! They make learning addition and subtraction fun because you can see how numbers are friends. For example, if you know that 5 and 3 make 8, then you also know that you can take 3 away from 8 and be left with 5. It's like playing a game where you find and connect these friendly numbers, making math more effortless.
