Let’s get started
Two parts can join to make one whole. Ten is a helpful whole to know.
Learn together
- Place ten counters where you can see them.
- Move six counters left. Four counters remain on the right.
- Say the equation: 6 + 4 = 10. Try more ways.
Example to explore
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵 + 🟠🟠🟠🟠 = 10
Try it yourself
- What number makes 6 + __ = 10?
- Fill in: 7 + __ = 10.
- Which two numbers total 10?
Hands-on project
Make a ten-bond garden with ten paper flowers in two colors. Write all the equations you can.
Reflect and grow
Which pair that makes ten is your favorite to remember?
